The Karnataka High Court pulled up the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Thursday for failing to fill potholes on city roads and directed the civic agency to ensure that quality is maintained while repairing them.
“BBMP shall also ensure that quality work is maintained while filling up the potholes because it is noticed that the pothole which is filled up, again becomes a pothole after about 2 to 3 months for obvious reasons,” the court said. It asked the civic agency to take up the work at the earliest and submit a status report within two weeks.
The division bench of acting Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum was hearing a petition filed by Vijayan Menon in 2015.
