Yesterday, this paper carried a front page report about the BMC spending Rs 25 lakh of its annual budget on Android-based Samsung Galaxy mobiles for its corporators so they can uploads pictures of potholes on its Rs 65-lakh pothole tracking software

The report stated that only a handful of corporators are using this facility and have actually uploaded pictures of potholes. Not more than six of the 230 corporators, it has been revealed, have made use of this app. This is a disappointingly small number, given that potholes mar so many roads, especially during peak monsoon time in July.
