With a view to reducing potholes on roads, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation ( BMC) has come up with a policy decision to concretise even the side- strips. This decision comes almost a month after the civic body made concretisation of footpaths mandatory.

According to civic officials, the side- strips of cement concrete ( CC) roads, which used to be laid using paver blocks and asphalt, will now have passage concrete.
