Potholes appear on Mangaluru roads that got asphalt 10 days ago for Modi’s visit
“Thank you for coming to #Mangaluru. Now we can enjoy pothole free (sic) roads in those areas where you had passed. On behalf of all Mangaloreans I request you to come back again in three months as these roads will last only for three months…” Netizen Junaiz Mohammed tweeted after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public event in the city on September 2.
The netizen’s prediction was off by quite a lot of days, as the freshly laid bitumen on NH 66 lasted just about 10 days.
Just a few days before the Prime Minister’s arrival, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) officials went on an overdrive filling up potholes and asphalting the entire stretch between New Mangalore Port and Kuloor.
