Three BBMP engineers are in the dock for the big sinkhole that surfaced on the road that was asphalted days ago for Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Bengaluru.
The sinkhole on Mariyappanapalya Road, off Jnanabharathi Main Road, had embarrassed the state government and prompted the prime minister’s office (PMO) to seek an explanation from the chief minister’s office (CMO).
The road was part of a seven-kilometre-long stretch from Kengeri to Kommaghatta that the BBMP asphalted on a war footing ahead of Modi’s visit. Modi travelled on the stretch on his way to the BASE University campus, which he inaugurated on June 20.
