In its haste to address citizens' grievances, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is doing more damage than good to the age-old pothole problem in the city. Cooperage Road outside Campion School at Fort, that had developed major potholes following heavy rainfall, was repaired by the civic body on July 30, only for the potholes to resurface the very next day.

The civic body, however, was very quick at posting a 'work attended' tweet in response to the original complaint tweeted by NCP spokesperson Clyde Crasto. Parent to a child studying at the school, Crasto had tweeted pictures on July 27 which was addressed three days later on July 30, and quite unsuccessfully so. The school principal also claimed that the road was constructed only in April this year.
