Bengaluru pothole crisis: Roads still broken

The Karnataka government had set a deadline of 31 October to make Bengaluru pothole-free. However, the city’s roads tell a different story. From Kengeri and JP Nagar to Whitefield, Yelahanka, and Anekal, potholes continue to trouble commuters despite ongoing repair works.

Citizens and activists say that little has changed on the ground, pointing to poor-quality materials and unscientific repair methods as key reasons why Bengaluru’s pothole problem refuses to go away
