Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) awarded an annual rate contract for year-round road maintenance to a company based in Gujarat on October 31, 2026. The corporation identified 30,000 square meters of damaged road surface across the city. The contract involves deploying machinery to repair potholes, a method that was previously tested but deemed suitable only for minor patchwork.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new contract shifts road maintenance from manual patchwork carried out by local contractors to a mechanized process. The BMC is reintroducing the jet patcher technology for city-wide infrastructure repair, despite earlier concerns about its ability to withstand Bhopal's road conditions.
