The commissioner for Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) stated that due to unusually heavy rains this year potholes surfaced at many places within a span of five weeks.
The commissioner gave statistics about the stretch of roads and potholes covered this year.
“You (BMC) might have done concretisation of certain kilometres of roads till now, but that does not mean roads are not in good condition. Every day there are newspaper reports about bad roads and the net result is the same. I have been a student of statistics and there are three types of lies in statistics. Lies, damned lies and statistical lies. These statistics are not to be confused with the amount of work that needs to be done. If you see your own data, the rainfall has not increased much this year. The main cause is negligence and what is done with government funds,” CJ Upadhyaya orally remarked.
