Quick-fix remedy for Hyderabad potholes

Citizens can take photographs of the roads with the potholes and upload them on the GHMC website
Hyderabad:In a bid to make Hyderabad a pothole-free city, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation has decided to involve the citizens by launching a campaign called ‘Pothole Free Hyderabad.’
Citizens can take photographs of the roads with potholes and upload the same on the GHMC website. Special teams of the civic body would then quickly fix the potholes using the ‘ready mix’ during the night hours. The drive is set to start on Friday.
Asked about the ‘lifespan’ of such roads, given that they will be repaired in a quick-fix manner, GHMC city planner Anjaneyulu said, “We will be using special heating equipment that will work on 'infra-red carpeting' technology. This equipment will heat the surface up to 120ºC and fix the ready-mix or shellmac (a mix, which can be used directly on wet roads) strongly.”
