Bengaluru potholes to be filled by September 30: Revenue Minister R Ashok
Amidst a huge public uproar on social media against the pothole-riddled roads in Bengaluru, Minister for Revenue R. Ashok on Monday instructed the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to carry out road repair work within a month.
The minister held a meeting with the BBMP officials to discuss measures to prevent mishaps due to rainfall.
“Instructions have been given to fill potholes on the 1,332-km-long major roads by September 20 and 85,791-long roads at ward level by September 30. If rains increase, the potholes will also continue to form and they must be filled up simultaneously. The pothole filling is a continual process. The problems arise when the water board and Bescom dig the roads,” Ashok said.
