We're calling your bluff, MMRDA. The MMRDA yesterday told the Bombay High Court that none of the roads under its purview has potholes. So, we decided to put that claim to the test. We assessed the condition of roads in BKC and near the monorail depot in Wadala — both of which are under the MMRDA's jurisdiction — and found a number of potholes. The bigger worry was uneven surfaces.

Besides all the roads in BKC, MMRDA maintains the 1.2-km stretch of MA Road to Anik-Wadala road, a 1.06-km stretch of the Wadala monorail depot road that leads to the Anik-Wadala road and 3.5 km of road in Oshiwara in the western suburbs.
