The BMC has consistently faced flak for the condition of the roads and apparently seems to be content filling potholes every year, even as citizens navigate these roads fearing for their life and limb at every step, as the potholes have proved fatal more than once. An official from the roads department said, “These roads are not suited to our country, besides being very expensive. This kind of technology will not be able to bear the load of Mumbai’s vehicular traffic. Heavy rainfall is another issue, aside from heavy vehicles.”
