Intermittent rains have brought back the problem of potholes in southern and eastern Bengaluru.
Holding engineers responsible for the poor maintenance of roads, BBMP’s engineering chief M R Venkatesh on Tuesday warned that for every unscientifically filled pothole, the concerned assistant executive engineer (AEE) will be fined Rs 1,000.
“All wards shall be pothole-free. If any pothole is filled unscientifically, the jurisdictional AE and AEE will cough up a fine of Rs 1,000,” Venkatesh warned.
Mayor Gangambike Mallikarjun came down heavily on the engineers regarding the poor maintenance of roads in the city’s wards.
