After a massive spell of rain last night in Bengaluru, potholes are back into action, taking lives of innocent commuters. In 2017 October, two fatal accidents took lives of three people after they were run over by a bus while attempting to avoid potholes.
Bangalore Mirror has conducted surveys where potholes were seen to be more in number than the data given by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
Bengaluru Development Minister and Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwara recently made an alarming claim that as much as 90 per cent of the potholes in Bengaluru have been filled up. This holds true not for a second, according to the survey. A BBMP survey done in August this year showed more than 3,000 potholes just in the East and Southern parts of the city.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
