pothole

"The fight is not just for my son. Why can't agencies take steps to avoid such tragedies? Why can't we have a protocol to identify and fill our potholes?"

The asphalt used to build roads withers away as soon as heavy rains pelt the city, resulting in big holes on the road. Soon enough, water fills in the cracks, resulting in dirty roads, slow traffic and a dangerous situation, overall.

Despite a number of protests by citizens as well as warnings by ministers, tens of thousands of potholes have been left unattended by the BBMP.
