 PIL seeks penalty on IPL for Maha drought
According to a PIL filed at the Bombay High Court, the IPL should compensate for the 66 lakh litres of water used to maintain cricket pitches in its 2013 edition. The petitioner sought a ₹1,000 fine for every litre used for maintaining Mumbai's Wankhade stadium. The petitioner added that this can fund delivery of water to Maharashtra's drought-affected areas.
