BBMP makes a mountain out of a pothole

Kammanahalli Main Road had a pothole that BBMP workers converted to a mountain. Now who will set this right?

This hole on Kammanhalli Main Road poses a threat to those who use this busy road. Nearby shopkeepers placed some stones, bricks and branches near the whole to help prevent any mishap.

The next day some workers from the BBMP workers came and filled it up with heaps of mud and rocks, and it became a mountain on the road (as shown in the photo). This is how it has been for the past few days.

Who can we contact for road repairs like this?

    ITS A MOST DIRTY JOB DONE BY BBMP. IT APPEARS BBMP HAS ONLY UNSKILLED ENGINEERS WHO DONT APPLY THEIR MIND(IF THEY HAVE ONE).SEE MANHOLES DONE. ALL THE MANHOLES ARE SIX INCHES ABOVE THE ROAD OR THE NORMAL. ITS AN OPEN INVITATION FOR ACCIDENTS. FURTHER LOOK AT THE RAIN WATER DRINAGE SYSTEM DONE . ALL OF THEM LOOK LIKE ROAD HUMPS /BUMPS OR MOUNTAINS. WHY CANT THEY SMALL THINGS WITH PRECISION. WHAT IS LACKING.

Maharashtra, one of India’s most urbanised States, faces a transportation crisis that has snowballed into a public health, environmental, and economic challenge. With over half its population residing in urban areas, Maharashtra is home to 28 municipal corporations — the highest in the country. Cities like Mumbai and Pune are struggling with the relentless surge in vehicle ownership, which has led to traffic congestion, alarming pollution levels, and a steep rise in road crashes.  Despite these pressing concerns, many cities have pursued an approach focused on expanding road infrastructure, relying on flyovers and highways to absorb traffic overflow.

Walkability and affordable transit ignored as elections focus on big projects in Mumbai

Political parties are harping on big-ticket projects, while hardly anyone is focusing on the city's lifelines — BEST and railways.

As the Maharashtra state elections get underway, the daily struggles of Mumbai's citizens, especially their commuting woes, seem to be overlooked in the electoral discourse. Political parties are focusing on massive infrastructure projects, sidelining the city's lifelines like the Railways and the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) Undertaking in favour of the Metro Rail. Despite being partially operational, the Metro has yet to make a significant impact. Surveys reveal that 52% of Mumbaikars walk to work, yet on many roads, pedestrian infrastructure remains neglected, encroached upon, and unusable. While traffic congestion has made commuting a nightmare, trains are perennially…
