“I have discussed the issue with the engineers and the potholes will be filled by November 15. Around 800-1,000 potholes are filled every day,” Nath told media persons Tuesday.
Ward-level engineers, chief engineers, and zonal commissioners have been directed to prepare a report on the number of potholes that have been filled. Around 6,000-6,500 potholes are yet to be filled. All the potholes should be cleaned and their edges should be cut into a square shape and then they should be filled…” a BBMP official said.
