Just a week into the monsoon season, Mumbai roads are already riddled with potholes — 165 of them, by the BMC’s own count. While the civic body claims it has already dealt with a majority of these craters, mid-day spotted several pockmarked roads across the city.

Granted, the pothole menace has reduced over the years — just three years ago, the city had recorded as many as 42,000 potholes.
