The BMC has asked its engineers to supervise roads on bikes and not in four-wheelers. Senior officials feel that it is the best way to get a feel of the situation—not just the potholes but the entire road stretch so that problems can be corrected before the monsoon or before the potholes issue manifests.
Even though the BMC started the procedure to convert all asphalt roads into cement concrete, barely 25 per cent of the work has been completed. As the monsoon arrival is getting near, the BMC top officials told their engineers to review roads, whether above or below 9 metres, and do the patchwork or resurfacing whenever needed.
