In a major move to tackle the city's severe pothole problem, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has announced a ₹1,100 crore investment for road repair and development. The initiative aims to create pothole-free roads and ensure smooth traffic flow across the city.

Under this plan, 14 assembly constituencies will each receive ₹50 crore, while other areas will get ₹25 crore for new road construction and maintenance. This announcement comes as a significant relief to citizens who have been grappling with the aftermath of heavy rains. A recent survey by the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GAB) revealed that many potholes were poorly patched with uneven cement or weak barricades, which quickly deteriorated with the rain, worsening the situation.

The issue has become so dire that children reportedly wrote a letter in the form of a poem to the Prime Minister, pleading for better roads.
