While citizens have flooded BMC with photos of potholes, the ball is now in the civic body's court with complainants, whose grievances were not addressed within 24 hours, waiting for the promised reward of Rs 500.

Official records show that BMC officials took the challenge seriously from November 4 to November 8 and filled all potholes within the stipulated24 hours, but once the challenge ended, BMC officials fixed barely 50 per cent of the potholes.
