The Karnataka High Court has directed the Greater Bengaluru Authority to file a detailed affidavit on how it identifies and repairs potholes across the city. The court was told that 10,202 potholes had been repaired since April this year. A bench led by Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice KS Hemalekha is hearing a 2015 public interest litigation filed by Vijayan Menon. The affidavit must list roads needing repairs, potholes identified and fixed, measures to prevent further damage, and the road maintenance system used by civic authorities. The court also sought details of FIRs linked to deaths and injuries allegedly caused by potholes. It asked the GBA to explain its repair timeline and yearly procedures.
