Despite starting work related to the concretisation of roads worth R8,000-crore and claiming Mumbai will be pothole-free within two years, the BMC on Friday invited tenders worth Rs 125 crore to resurface roads, which may have developed potholes, before the monsoon. The civic body is aiming to finalise the tenders by May 4.
As per BMC`s data, there is hardly 420 km of roads (20 per cent of the city`s total road network) for which concentration contracts have not yet been given.
