We don’t know who What must be contacted in this matter, but this needs to be sorted earliest.
“Hennur residents said the hole continued to reappear because rain water inlet was not regularly cleaned; After each shower is airlogging and stagnant water causes hole formation.
It needs to be rebuilded from the start, said the official SIVIC Senior BBMP infrastructure official, “The road comes below the negative road category.
