A social media post showing workers patching a pothole in Bengaluru has drawn sharp criticism from residents, raising questions about the effective use of taxpayer money. The post came as the Greater Bengaluru Administration (GBA) launched a 90-day action plan to repair roads, clear garbage, and complete unfinished infrastructure projects. Residents tagged AI bot Grok to analyse the repair, which revealed a quick “throw-and-roll” cold mix asphalt method lacking proper edge cutting, cleaning, tack coating, or mechanical compaction. While the patch may survive 6–12 months of moderate rain, it falls short of BBMP and FHWA standards for durability. Social media users criticised the approach, sarcastically questioning its quality and cost-effectiveness, and highlighted broader issues of corruption, misuse of public space, and favouritism in city road repairs. Mahindra Scorpio-N Flips Onto Side After Falling Into Water-Filled Pothole Outside Patna Junction, SUV Owner Nitu Singh Choubey Calls Incident ‘Conspiracy To Defame Bihar Govt’ (Videos).
