In a bid to address the perennial issue of potholes plaguing Mumbai's roads, Chief Minister Shinde has pledged to make them pothole-free within the next two years. This commitment comes as part of the state government's broader efforts to enhance infrastructure and ensure safer travel conditions for commuters.

The ambitious initiative aims to tackle the longstanding problem of potholes, which often lead to accidents, traffic congestion, and inconvenience for residents and visitors alike. By prioritising road maintenance and repair works, the government seeks to create smoother, more resilient road surfaces that withstand Mumbai's monsoon season and heavy vehicular traffic.

Chief Minister Shinde's assurance reflects the government's proactive approach to addressing civic issues and improving the quality of life for Mumbai's residents. The pledge to eliminate potholes within a specific timeframe underscores the administration's accountability and determination to deliver tangible results in infrastructure development.

The initiative is expected to involve a comprehensive assessment of road conditions, prioritisation of repair works, and deployment of modern technology and best practices in road construction and maintenance. Additionally, concerted efforts will be made to streamline administrative processes and allocate adequate resources to expedite the pothole-repair program.
