Rains Stall Mumbai’s Last-Minute Pothole Repairs With 586 Still Unfixed Before Ganpati Immersions
BMC says ward engineers will focus on immersion routes despite weather disruptions.
Overview
- BMC’s real-time dashboard on Friday 8 pm logged 13,519 pothole reports since June 4, with 12,933 filled and 586 still pending.
- Only about 100 potholes were repaired in the past 24 hours as fresh rain paused patching operations.
- Civic officials say ward teams are prioritising immersion corridors and working to close complaints within 24 to 48 hours.
- Data show 1,014 reported defects lie on roads maintained by other agencies, limiting the BMC’s direct intervention.
- The Brihanmumbai Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Samanvay Samiti warned repairs are late and advised mandals to carry steel plates or avoid damaged stretches.
