The Hindu
Each ward has an allocation of ₹20 lakh for pothole work
For motorists, commuting within the city is akin to completing an obstacle course. For pedestrians, the state of roads and lack of pavements is a health hazard. Inundated with complaints from citizens, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has decided to constitute a zonal-level task force to oversee filling up of potholes and repairing bad reaches on high-density corridors, arterial and sub-arterial and ward roads. Civic officials said that each ward has an allocation of ₹20 lakh only for filling up the potholes. The task forces will be overseen by the chief engineer, executive engineers, assistant executive engineers and ward engineers. A note in this regard was issued to all engineers by chief commissioner Gaurav Gupta on Thursday.
