India, Oct. 22 -- Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday directed officials to fill all potholes in the city within a week.

This aligns with the Chief Minister's earlier order last month, which set October 31 as the deadline for pothole repairs across the city's five corporation limits.

"I was speaking to officials, including Chief Commissioner of the Greater Bengaluru Authority and Additional Chief Secretary to the Government, Urban Development Department Tushar Girinath, he said.

Within a week, potholes should be filled," Siddaramaiah said.

Addressing the gathering, he noted, "Because of the rains, there have been delays in filling potholes; that's the issue. There have been more rains this year."
