Bengaluru: BBMP to terminate contract with company tasked to fill potholes

After the death of a woman following an accident on a pothole-riddled road Monday, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials said they are mulling terminating the contract of the pothole filling agency, American Road Technology and Solutions (ART&S).

M Lokesh, Chief Engineer, Projects, BBMP, said, “We have issued two notices to the company seeking an explanation as to why the potholes were not filled. In one of the notices, we had warned the company of the termination of the contract. It is clear that the company has failed to fix potholes. We are not happy with the performance of the company and the contract will be terminated soon.”
