Mumbai Receives Over 8,000 Pothole Complaints Amid Rs 17,000-Crore Road Project
Mumbai has received over 8,000 pothole complaints in just over two months during the monsoon, despite an ongoing Rs 17,000-crore road concretisation project by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The BMC reported resolving nearly 7,829 complaints and noted that the number of potholes and severity have decreased compared to last year. Complaints were highest in eastern suburbs, with multiple platforms used for reporting. The civic body emphasizes that complaint numbers alone do not fully reflect road conditions.
