Nearly 300 tons of cold mix material has been used for filling potholes across the city, and yet, the menace is far from being under control. Data released by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) also states that R84 lakh has been spent on the work so far.

Even as the civic body has drawn flak from citizens and politicians over the pathetic condition of roads across the city, corporators from the BMC have alleged that the material used for filling potholes has been of a poor quality and, hence, completely ineffective with pits reappearing in the same spots. They have also said that the BMC should have used hot mix material instead.
