BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court on Saturday gave one more opportunity to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to submit a fresh work plan to fill up potholes in the city. BBMP Engineer-in-Chief S Prabhakar and Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta assured the division bench of Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi and Justice SR Krishna Kumar that they will ensure that a proper work plan is prepared to fill up/repair potholes in the CBD of Bengaluru and by using proper technology, deploying machines.
Adjourning the hearing on the PIL filed by Vijayan Menon and others to March 15, 2022 on their request, the court asked BBMP to reveal how many people have been killed due to potholes. BBMP counsel V Srinidhi replied that deaths were not due to potholes but adjacent road cuttings.
