Pothole-free roads in 2 years, promises BMC

With BMC elections ahead, the civic body on Saturday promised to provide pothole-free roads to Mumbaikars within the next two years. This comes after Chief Minister Eknath Shinde reviewed the status of BMC’s road works.

During the review, Shinde directed the civic administration to ensure that the existing potholes on Mumbai’s roads, resulting from heavy rainfall, are repaired on priority and smooth flow of traffic is ensured without causing inconvenience to commuters.

The review took place around 6 pm on Saturday at Nandanvan Bungalow in Malabar Hill, which has been serving as Shinde’s residence for the last two-and-a-half years. At the meeting, BMC administrator Iqbal Singh Chahal made a presentation to Shinde.
