Popular television actor Karan Patel has slammed Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for potholes on the streets of Mumbai. Taking a dig at the civic body, the actor stated that BMC has 'dementia'.
On his Instagram story, Karan wrote, "Mumbai got craters Bigger, Better, Deeper than the #Moon. Do visit. Hope to see you soon! No regret, only forget. Your BMC," and added a smiling face emoticon.
Complaining about the potholes, Karan added in another story, "It's evident that #BMC has #Dementia. Because, either they dig and forget or they forget and dig the same road again."
A couple of days back, the BMC informed the Bombay High Court that approximately Rs 273 crore was expended during the last monsoon season for the repair and resolution of potholes in the city. Additionally, they asserted that as the concretisation efforts progress, the issue of potholes will diminish.
The court also said that despite such spending, the condition of roads was 'poor'. The HC also added that it cannot monitor every road accident or pothole and that it was BMC’s responsibility to provide motorable roads.
Karan is quite active on social media platforms and he often makes headlines for sharing his views and opinions on various issues.
Karan gained widespread recognition for his portrayal of Raman Bhalla in the popular daily soap Yeh Hai Mohabbatein opposite Divyanka Tripathi.
