Mumbaikars are tired of hearing the same false promises from civic officials and ward officers over dealing with potholes that have sprouted with the onset of the monsoon. Residents of Evershine Nagar, Malad have decided to take matters into their own hands and with some help from a social activist, a few residents from Ramchandra lane started filling up the potholes on Thursday night with paver blocks and crushed powder. The residents again came together yesterday at 11 PM to finish the rest of the work. They filled up a total of 22 potholes over two days.
