Mumbai: BMC portal says only 927 potholes in city, residents say numbers under-reported

While BMC’s pothole tracking system shows that there are only around 900 potholes across the city, residents and corporators have slammed the civic administration saying that numbers are under-reported.

The BMC’s web portal for registering complaints on potholes shows that the city has 927 potholes as on September 25. According to the data, of these, 432 potholes have been fixed and the remaining 421 are in the process of being repaired. It also shows that 74 complaints regarding potholes were false.

However, public representatives and activists are not convinced. They said that BMC is under-reporting the numbers and that the ground reality was totally different.
