BBMP complies with HC order on pothole relief, spared of contempt

BENGALURU: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) escaped action under Contempt of Court Act for the time being by publishing that the citizens are entitled to compensation for loss or damage in case of accidents due to potholes or poor condition of roads in Bengaluru. This comes a day after the High Court threatened to issue contempt notices to top officials of BBMP, including Mayor and Deputy Mayor.

However, although sparing BBMP, the court took the elected representatives of BBMP and its Commissioner to the task.
