Bangalore Potholes

These days to fix a pothole, Bengaluru civic officials start by making it bigger. Once it is cut into a more regular, rectangular shape, the 'Python' gets to work.

Amid outrage over a man being charged for the death of his wife in an accident in Bengaluru when their motorcycle went into one of the city's many potholes-ridden roads, the police have said the indictment was 'procedural'.

A young woman, in her twenties, died in Bengaluru on Thursday night after the two-wheeler on which she was riding pillion with her husband crashed, reportedly due to a pothole on the road.

With familiar-sounding promises to clear out the garbage on streets, fix traffic jams, mend potholes and clean up filthy lakes, aspirants for the Bengaluru civic polls have jumped into the fray. Their first task at hand? Raise the offensive on opponents.

Bangalore is about to get a road that comes with a guarantee of no potholes. The road will open for commuters on Friday, but its target audience is VVIPs - it lies in the central part of the city and leads to the entrance of the state legislature that's used by senior ministers.

Ask anyone living in Bangalore the biggest problem they face in the city - and a frequent answer would be - the traffic, just getting from one place to another.

Unlike many other wards there is no acute shortage of water at most of the areas in Ganganagar Ward. The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) authorities have taken measures to supply borewell water but the residents want the BBMP to ensure Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) supply Cauvery water to them.
