After Bengaluru received a spate of rains recently after a long dry spell, familiar rain-related problems like potholes are back. Over the last one week, people have been complaining about potholes on several key roads and bad stretches, making their journeys dangerous.
Although the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) claims that it has been routinely filling potholes using cold-mix, many residents complain that many roads appear to have been unattended to. In some areas, the residents say that despite work orders for asphalting being issued before the poll code came into being, the work was not executed.
Vajapeyam Srivatsa, a resident of Balaji Layout near Kanakapura Road, talking to The Hindu, said in about six wards [five in Bommanahalli and one in R.R. Nagar zone] the road condition had deteriorated. Even before the rain, the roads were bad and filled with craters, he said.
