Residents of Vivekananda Nagar in Maruthi Seva Nagar ward were very happy when the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (
BBMP) paved roads in their area one-and-half years ago. The condition of the roads was very bad and it was difficult for residents, especially motorists, to use those pothole-ridden and dug up roads.
This happy state of affairs continued till last December. Their problems began when two

same contractor to dig the roads to lay optic fibre cables (OFCs). From then on, the smooth roads were dug up and trenches and pits and debris lined the roads.
