The Karnataka High Court Thursday pulled up Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) over the civic body’s claims that all potholes in the city have been filled and called the compliance report “a total sham”. It also asked the BBMP civic engineer to appear before it on February 7.
A division bench of Chief Justices Ritu Raj Awasthi and Suraj Govindaraj said, “We are not satisfied with the status report submitted by the BBMP. Why do potholes erupt after every rain? The Palike should inform as to what technology is being adopted by them for repair of roads and whether they have engaged any experts or outside agencies in construction and repair of roads.”
