Complain About Potholes can be registered online.
Posted On Sep 7, 2018"Report a pothole, get it fixed immediately," tweeted Mr Parameshwara, who is in-charge of Bengaluru Development as additional post along with Home, Youth Empowerment and Sports.
The Minister has also asked citizens to register complaints about potholes on the civic body's online redressal forum Sahaaya (help) with the web address, bbmp.sahaaya.in
Notorious for traffic snarls, Bengaluru's pot-holed roads made national news when they claimed lives after heavy downpour last year.
As many as four people were killed in accidents caused by potholes in a span of 10 days in October, after heavy rains left the city's roads damaged.
The city's civic body commissioner M. Maheshwar Rao said potholes created by rains were being repaired.
"We are currently working to fill about 50-70 per cent of the potholes left by the rains. Citizens' complaints will help in attending to the problem in an easy way," Mr Rao told IANS.
Srinivas Alavilli, a volunteer coordinator for people's forum 'Citizens for Bengaluru' said the digital initiative to register complaints makes it easier to report potholes to the authorities.
"The effort will be worth if the authorities publish data on the complaints, results of the repair work and the expenditure on fixing the potholes," Mr Alavilli said.
The real solution to potholes lies in empowering ward committees of each of the city's administrative division and allowing road works to be monitored by local residents, he added.
