With as many as ten cases of drowning off the city beaches in the last one month, Bombay high court today asked the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to file an affidavit stating what safety measures it had put in place.

The direction, by the bench headed by Chief Justice Mohit Shah, came on a PIL filed by NGO Janhit Manch, which demands that authorities should take measures to prevent drownings.

The affidavit will be filed within four weeks.
