This year the BMC has started the process of tackling the pothole problem early. It has invited Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) suppliers and plant owners to demonstrate filling potholes and bad patches using technologies of Rapid Hardening Concrete and Reactive Asphalt. It has proposed to carry out pothole filling work before and during the monsoon. A report also said that of 2,050 km roads in the city, 990 km have been concretised.

On Tuesday, the BMC published an advertisement inviting response from RMC plant owners who have Rapid Hardening Concrete technology as well as Reaction Asphalt technology. It has asked interested suppliers to email their offers with design, specifications, methodology, logistical supports, end-to-end solutions and rates now.
