Mayor M Goutham Kumar on Wednesday ordered action against contractors who filled the potholes unscientifically and failed to sweep the Outer Ring Road.
On Tuesday, corporators had complained of incomplete white-topping of roads. The mayor promised action and inspected the roads on Wednesday.
On Hennur Main Road, Kumar was appalled to find potholes were not cut to square angles before being filled. It emerged the contractor used large-sized gravel instead of compacted gravel to fill up the potholes. This made the patchwork shoddy and the road surface uneven. The mayor censured the officials for letting such unscientific patchwork pass and asked them to penalise the contractor.
