Netizens expose potholed ‘Brand Bengaluru’

BENGALURU: The Town Hall, located just metres away from the BBMP headquarters, has been plagued by potholes. Despite the BBMP’s claims of having fixed the potholes, the roads around Town Hall are still filled with craters.

The KR Market main road too is in a deplorable condition, and vehicles plying through Majestic and Town Hall are struggling to navigate the potholed roads.

Enough is enough! Stop all heavy trucks on Chandapura–Dommasandra Road until the roads are fixed. Crumbling stretches have become a nightmare, and now even ambulances struggle to get through this maze. How many lives before action is taken? #Bangalore #FixOurRoads pic.twitter.com/wh6jSS2mmC
