Varthur residents start online petition to draw Bengaluru civic body’s attention to potholes

The residents of Varthur have started an online petition to draw the attention of the BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) authorities to the issue of potholes.

“We are paying the highest road tax in Bengaluru but still road conditions are the worst. Varthur-Gunjur road is in the worst condition right now. It has not been repaired in the last couple of years. Numerous potholes make it impossible to drive on this stretch. The lack of repair has also led to an increase in dust particles, which could cause severe illnesses to people living in the vicinity. There are also no proper street lights. We need everyone’s support to bring this issue to the notice of the BBMP and the Karnataka government,” the petition said.
