Following news reports of the pothole menace across Thane district, the Infrastructure Developers Limited (IRB) is now racing to get potholes in its jurisdiction filled. IRB is one of the main toll collecting agencies in the Thane region and is responsible for a limited stretch of roads.

Workers were seen filling potholes and surfacing some stretches of the Ghodbunder road in Thane Friday morning. Locals said they cleared all the mud and stones inside the potholes before filling them up for surfacing. Some Thane residents had recently protested in this area against the huge number of potholes on Ghodbunder road.
