Potholed roads have unfortunately become the face of Mumbai. In order to improve the quality of roads and provide better roads in the city, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will be seeking the guidance of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay. The civic body believes that with the help of IIT’s expertise, the roads will last longer without potholes.
The civic body is hoping that the institute’s expertise will not only aid them in designing roads but will also help them in training the staff. The official further said that if needed, the BMC staff would also be trained according to their suggestions for better roads.
