Bengaluru pothole saga continues as auto-rickshaw topples on road

Potholes continue to pose a grave danger to commuters in Bengaluru, Karnataka, highlighted by a recent incident where an auto-rickshaw toppled on a pothole-riddled road. This follows a separate event where a school bus became trapped in a large pothole, requiring the rescue of children. In response to the crisis, a deputy minister stated, "It is nature. No one wants to make a potholes." The government acknowledges that over 7,000 potholes have been cleared, but more than 5,000 still remain. Officials have requested a one-month timeframe to complete the repair work across the city. However, residents and commuters express frustration, questioning the lack of preventative measures by the authorities before the monsoon season, which exacerbates the condition of the roads.
