In most cases, repair work would mean restoring something that has been damaged to its original state, or at least the closest approximation possible. But Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation seems to have a slightly different idea about the same.
Mumbai monsoons are the stuff of legends, with locals frequently having to contend with waterlogged roads, and damaged roads. And it is not unusual to come across complaints on social media that talk about and detail specific areas which are in need of tending. Recently, a Twitter user shared a photograph of a damaged stretch of road at the entrance of Ahimsa Marg and Ramkrishna Marg corner in Mumbai, urging the BMC to fix it.
The BMC to its credit did get on the job pretty soon, sharing a photo of the repaired stretch the very next day. "Sir, Your complaint has been attended by our team. Please check the photograph attach herewith," handle responded.
The photo of the repair work has stunned netizens, with many chiming in with jokes and memes about one of the country's richest municipal corporations.
"Look at the kind of work they have done; wont it wash away again with the rain water??" asked one social media user.
"Life me itna confidence chahiye," tweeted another.
Take a look at some of the posts:
