India, May 20 -- A 43-year-old resident of Richmond Town in Bengaluru has sent a legal notice to the city's civic body, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), demanding Rs.50 lakh in damages for the physical and emotional distress he claims to have endured due to the city's poorly maintained roads.
