BBMP Commissioner Maheshwara Rao discusses future plans for quick pothole repair in Bengaluru

BBMP Commissioner Maheshwara Rao stated that the department will focus on implementing systems in the future to repair potholes quickly, similar to services offered by Blinkit or Zepto. Speaking on a podcast shared on the BBMP X account, he addressed the question of why it takes so long to fix a pothole despite the department having crores of rupees. He noted that while pothole issues are more visible during the monsoon, the root cause is the quality of the roads. Rao also mentioned that the city's growth and continuous construction work are damaging the roads, putting pressure on infrastructure. He emphasized the need to increase the capacity of all utilities, including utility lines and pipelines.
