The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) says there are hardly any potholes left on Mumbai's roads. The civic body claims that since the beginning of the monsoon, they have repaired 90 per cent of 2,294 craters that appeared on this city's roads, and only 288 remain. Citizens though have brushed this off as rubbish. They base their theory on the fact that over 27,000 pothole complaints have been registered on Mumbaipotholes.com in the last month alone.

A front page report in this paper cited the BMC officials talking about the number of potholes they have filled. Citizens inundated the paper with contrary evidence, stating specifically that even when the potholes were filled, they seem to fall apart, quite soon after repairs. This perhaps is the most worrying aspect as it puts a question mark on the quality of material used and enrages people as it is a waste of taxpayers' money and time.
