After back-to-back accidents due to poor road conditions and potholes, the BBMP has decided to train its 400 engineers in techniques to be followed while filling potholes.
BBMP Engineer-In-Chief, Prahlad B S, said that the civic body felt that it was important to sensitise the engineers to the matter. “We talk to them every day and advise on the measures to be taken. However, we feel that there is a need to sensitise them and a day-long training session will help us provide them with a better understanding,” he told DH.
Members from the BBMP’s Technical Advisory Committee – Professor Rajagopal, Professor Jagadeesh, and Professor Anjaneyappa – will provide the training along with the BBMP chief engineers.
