Karnataka High Court Instructs BBMP To Repair More Than 200 Potholes
- Residents have long complained to officials about the numerous potholes that are death traps for drivers and the sewage pipes that backup into the roadways when it rains.
- The civic organisation was given ten days by the division bench of Justice S Vishwajith Shetty and Acting Chief Justice Alok Aradhe to completely patch over 200 potholes in the main routes.
Bangalore's deteriorating infrastructure has once again made the news as the Karnataka High Court heard a 2015 lawsuit concerning the poor condition of Bangalore roads. Residents have long complained to officials about the numerous potholes that are death traps for drivers and the sewage pipes that backup into the roadways when it rains.
Similar uproar resulted from people having to travel through water that was knee-deep during the recent rainstorms in August. Prior to this, in June, a 14 km stretch of newly rebuilt roads in Bangalore by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) gave way due to heavy rains. With a budget of 23 crores, the roads were renovated, but they soon began to give way.
