Bantwal, Oct 24: The hopes of the citizens that the roads in B C Road will be tarred have turned false. The administration has got the potholes filled with mud and words of anguish can be heard among the locals regarding the matter.
The B C Road main circle, connecting seven roads including Puttur, Panemangaluru market, Bantwal Byepass, Bantwal market, Over bridge, Service road and B C road main road, was full of potholes for the last 2 to 3 months. The road users have been cursing against the Highway authority and the town municipal council for the state of the road. People riding on two wheeler and driving light vehicles give perplexed looks at the potholes. The potholes had also caused several road accidents.
While the problem persisted, the potholes now have been filled with red mud on Friday Octobre 24 evening. If it rains heavily, the potholes are sure to become like slush fields.
