The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), which has been lambasted by the media and the public for its inability to fill potholes quickly and effectively, has come up with a proposal to introduce technologies to fill the potholes. These include Road Bond (Hindustan Colas), a patented product that it claims is a quick-fix solution for potholes. The cold mix dries instantly, unlike asphalt, which requires at least six to eight hours to dry. It also sets instantly and takes less time for application.
