Bengaluru : Bengaluru Central City Corporation has filled 190 potholes using jet-patcher machines, repairing 3,545 square metres of road surface, according to data provided by the civic body. Chickpet division accounted for the highest number of repairs, with 87 potholes filled during the period. Shantinagar division reported 50 potholes repaired, followed by Shivajinagar with 42 and CV Raman Nagar with 11. The average area repaired per pothole was 18.65 square metres, according to the corporation’s data. The jet-patcher technology was demonstrated on Sept 11 under the supervision of Bengaluru development minister Krishna Byre Gowda.
