The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Monday took a stern view of the continued delay in removing the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) railings in Indore, observing that profit or loss cannot be cited as an excuse in a matter affecting public interest. Hearing a public interest litigation (PIL), the court warned the contractor of strict action, including a heavy fine, seizure of bank guarantee and blacklisting, if the work is not completed without further delay.
