The BBMP may have failed to fill potholes on city roads, but the traffic police have pulled up their socks to solve the long-standing civic issue.
In the last two months, notwithstanding the rains, Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) have filled up nearly 500 potholes by pooling together all the available resources at their level. They have filled up 200 potholes in the western division alone, said Kuldeep Kumar Jain, DCP (Traffic, West).
As the city experienced a rain-free day on Tuesday, traffic cops were busy filling in the potholes at several busy junctions.
The BTP said its personnel had filled up 45 potholes in Byatarayanapura, 20 in Kengeri, 17 near KR Market, 14 in Jalahalli and 86 in other places.
