They might have started work on Monday night,” Kamran Shahid said, who used Magadi Road to go to work.
According to Shahid, the road has been in a bad condition for more than five years now.
“I often use this road and have never been fully corrected in the last five years.
The authorities always fix it in fillings and not do a very professional job.
The road is very uneven, which might be the reason for an accident on Sunday.” A member of Whitefield Rising said death and injury because bad roads are no longer rare in the city.
“Even one death is too much and we have more than one.
Corruption and the lack of coordination between civil institutions have caused this situation.” “There is a hole left without monitoring for months.
In some parts of the city, there is absolutely no way And there are trenches left open.
At this point, civilian institutions understand there is a lack of coordination between them.
What we want to know is what they do to change it, “said other Whitefield Rising members.

Other BBMP officials said Karnataka Road Development Corporation Ltd and the water supply of Bangalore and Sewerage boards had cut the road and left it to BBMP to recover it.
