Constantly on the receiving end of criticism over the shoddy maintenance and construction work across the city, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) now hopes to improve its performance armed with a new secret weapon live project monitoring. Originally expected to be launched in February, the civic body’s new tech savvy system is expected to finally go online this month, possibly as early as next week.

If a road roller is sent to repair potholes on, say, Aarey Colony road, then BMC officials should be able to track its journey and location at all times, using the live monitoring system. File pic for representation
