Hence there is a crying need for better social and Civic infrastructure in the City. Zayed Khan uploaded the efforts of Abha Singh and her team and wished her luck for her future endeavours.
Meanwhile Advocate Aditya Pratap stressed the need to combat corruption and for people to themselves take up Civic issues. He said that the best way to combat the pothole menace in Mumbai city is to make the BMC shell out massive pecuniary damages for any person who dies or suffers injury due to potholes. This can be accomplished through efficient civil litigation and awarding of heavy financial damages. However the deplorable state of Courts in India and massive pendency of cases stands as a huge obstacle towards achieving this.

Abha Singh has put forth additional contentions regarding the law of adultery that the Hon’ble Supreme Court has agreed to hear.
