The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has promised that all roads, especially those used by Ganesh mandals to ferry huge idols, will be free of potholes by August 18. In a meeting held on Tuesday between members of mandals and the civic body, the issue of potholes, among others, was raised. Guardian minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha, who attended the meeting, which was held at the BMC headquarters, instructed the corporation to allot free space for parking for visitors at pandals.
