He also stated that when senior BJP Leaders visited some of these potholes, they realised that the material used was of inferior quality. In the PIL, More mentions that the government should take the filling of potholes and road repair work on a war footing basis and relieve the commuters of the hassles.

“These potholes have caused traffic snarls in the city, inconveniencing many, making it difficult for ambulances as well to pass through,” added More in his PIL.

He has also made the MMRDA, the State Government, Thane Municipal Corporation, Thane Guardian Minister and Thane Mayor a party to the PIL.
