In several areas, days after civic body’s attempts to fill potholes, motorists have been complaining about them ripping apart

The BMC has started a dashboard to trace potholes during this monsoon season. The BMC claims that it will help track potholes in real-time

The dashboard will also provide information on the work progress of asphalt and concrete roads

The corporation had initiated a plan to start a dashboard to track the process of project work of asphalt and concrete roads

It was mainly used by the administration to get the overall idea of work on a day-to-day basis

With the goal of making Mumbai pothole-free, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has started using the "geopolymer" technique for routine road maintenance and repairs

Recently, geopolymer technology was used to completely repair the road near Gundavali Metro station in Mumbai. By filling the potholes with geopolymer concrete, which blends seamlessly with the existing cement concrete surface, a strong and cohesive road structure is created, according to an official

A recently released statement by the BMC said that using the geopolymer technology was a big step towards making Mumbai's roads free of potholes
