Road to hell: Yeshwantpur stretch has 50 potholes resembling ponds

A one-kilometre arterial road in the industrial area of Yeshwantpur has a unique appearance — more than 50 potholes in the stretch are so big that they would look like a sea of mini ponds.

Known as MEI Road, the stretch is a crucial link between Tumakuru Road and Kanteerava Studio main road. Surprisingly, engineers from both the BBMP’s Mahalakshmi Layout and Yeshwantpur divisions are refusing to take ownership of the road.

Over the last five years, the road was dug up twice — once for a water supply pipeline and again for an underground drainage connection. The civic body has shown no urgency in fixing the stretch, also known as 40th Main Road.
