Overview

• BMC has earmarked ₹154 crore for pothole repairs on asphalt and paver block roads this monsoon season
• Engineers must inspect 10–15 km stretches in each of the 227 wards every two days and fill potholes measuring 6–12 inches
• Roads wider than six metres are now repaired exclusively with mastic asphalt, banning cold mix for greater longevity
• All mastic cooker vehicles are required to have GPS tracking systems to monitor supply and maintain accountability
• Geo-polymer concrete is being deployed on select roads as part of the ₹17,000-crore mega-concretisation project to boost durability
