Delhi synonymous with water-logging and potholes?

With the national capital known for its heavy traffic stretching for kilometres, the myriad potholes make driving a hassle and safety concerns have cropped up. With Delhi facing heavy showers over the last 48 hours, water-logging has created havoc along most areas of the city. Sections of many roads have caved in due to the bad weather, posing grave hazards to drivers and motorcyclists.

Targeting potholes: Initiatives taken up by the Delhi government

Delhi's Public Works Department has concocted a novel way to remedy the many potholes the city suffers from as a result of the downpour it faces every monsoon. The initiative, announced late last year, aims to enable patching of potholes at the earliest. The app-based initiative, will require a user to click the pothole's picture, enabling it to reach the department's servers for action.
