The Karnataka High Court on Monday directed the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to file an explanation on the status of automatic pothole-filling machines.
A division bench headed by Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi asked the BBMP to explain the arrangements made after the counsel informed that the existing contract given to a private agency had expired on January 3, 2022.
Appearing for the petitioner, senior advocate S R Anuradha told the court that as per reports, nine people have died in accidents due to potholes in the last 10 days. She mentioned an accident in which a young mother succumbed to injuries.
