Mumbai witnessed extremely heavy rainfall on Monday and Tuesday, causing waterlogging across the city

The potholes and craters have exposed the tall claims made by the civic administration over potholes

The civic body claims that it has deployed 227 road engineers across 227 electoral wards in the city to proactively look for potholes by roaming around their designated area of 15 kilometres and fix them

However, in terms of pothole-related complaints received from citizens, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) average rating has dropped, shows official data. Moreover, the civic body's complaint redressal rate has dropped to 90.97 per cent on August 13 from the previous 94.44 per cent less than a month ago, on July 20

Potholes have surfaced on the busy Sewri-Chembur Road in Kurla
