The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has finally taken steps to get a team of independent experts to conduct a technical audit of pothole repairs of Mumbai roads.
The audit is to start from next week and it will examine why the BMC had failed to rid roads of potholes this monsoon despite introducing cold-mix technology and setting stricter deadlines for contractors.
The BMC has sought help of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay and Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) to conduct the audit.
Although questions have been raised whether the cold mix technology is the suitable one, the civic body is of the opinion that the cold mix is proven to be more effective than hot mix and it will be in use irrespective of the results of the audit.
