This, according to BMC, is a "major step" toward having no potholes on city roads in the following two years. The BMC stated that it was hopeful that reputable businesses that work on highway building projects will submit to the tenders.

QR codes will be printed on barricades giving information about road works, and the footpaths along these roads will be made Divyang (physically challenged)-friendly. The road upgradation tenders also include works like construction of underground ducts for utility lines, soak pits for water percolation and appointment of agency for quality control and CCTV.
