Weeks after citizens were asked to upload photographs of potholes near their homes or place of work, on the pothole tracker system started by the BMC on its official website, about 40 per cent of the photographed potholes are yet to be repaired. The reason? The ward engineers and the road department each believe the potholes come under the other’s jurisdiction. Sources in the BMC claimed that the confusion was because of miscommunication and poor work done by the road engineers. According to them, the engineers failed to upload the list of bad roads into the pothole tracking system and linking the data.
