Minster directs BBMP to repair bad reaches and fill potholes on 1,332 km of major roads by September 20
After multiple protests on the pathetic condition of roads across the city and citizens lodging complaints with agencies, Minister for Revenue R. Ashok on Monday instructed the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to fill all potholes by the end of September. Speaking to reporters after a review meeting with senior civic officials, the Minister announced fresh deadlines. He has directed BBMP to repair bad reaches and fill potholes on 1,332 km of major roads by September 20 and ward roads by September 30. “The heavy rains that have lashed the city over the past four months have contributed to the deterioration of roads. If the rains continue, more potholes will develop; filling them is a continuous activity,” he said. Around 20 loads of asphalt from the BBMP’s hot mix plant will be supplied to eight zones every day. Jurisdictional engineers have been directed to oversee pothole filling work and ensure that they are only filled after they are properly cleaned.
