Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: While the corporators expressed anguish over the state of roads in the city on Thursday, Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BMP) Engineer-in-Chief said only 415 potholes remained to be filled in the city. Perhaps oblivious to the state of several important arterial roads in the city, Mr. Rame Gowda furnished statistics about BMP's achievement in filling potholes. He said of the 88,615 potholes identified in the city, 88,200 have been filled since July this year.

He said 30 batches have been formed to fill potholes.
