Hasty patchwork to fill potholes poses grave danger to bikers in city

Civic authorities may have filled potholes along a large part of arterial and sub-arterial roads, but the hasty patchwork have made roads uneven and dangerous.

While a few stretches have been neatly asphalted with bituminous concrete, most roads bear temporary patchwork that proves to be tricky for two-wheeler riders.

In the light of the recent high court directive to ensure all roads in the BBMP limits are pothole-free, DH recently visited a few major streets, including Bannerghatta Road, Mysuru Road, Sarjapur Main Road and Magadi Road, to take stock of the ground reality. These trunk roads, minus the patchworks, are relatively in good shape as compared to interior roads.
