Pothole-free roads continue to elude Mumbaikars despite Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) spending around R3.5 crore/day on construction and repair in the last six years. In the next financial year, BMC plans to spend R1,600 crore on roads (9 per cent more than 2019-20), which works out to R4.4 crore/day.

While the BMC makes financial provisions for several infrastructural projects, it pays more attention to some of the departments like roads, bridges, stormwater drainage and water.
