  "summary": "The Madhya Pradesh High Court has summoned the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) project director in Indore to address the poor condition of the Indore-Dewas bypass. The court has directed the officer to submit an action-taken report, appear personally before the court on December 22, and explain the authority’s future road maintenance plans. The petitioners, MAATR Foundation, have highlighted issues such as potholes, waterlogging, poor road safety, and inadequate drainage, citing recent photographs as evidence. Despite NHAI's arguments questioning the petitioner’s locus standi, the court observed that the authority was \"clearly avoiding facing the situation\" and directed the project director to address the grievances.",
