On record
A 43-year-old Richmond Town resident sent BBMP a legal notice in May 2025 demanding ₹50 lakh in compensation after sustaining repeated neck and back injuries from jolts caused by deep potholes and uneven road surfaces on her daily commute, backed by five orthopaedic visits and four emergency-room admissions.
The official record states: "No response from BBMP was documented; the notice threatened a civil suit, a PIL in the Karnataka High Court, and complaints to the Lokayukta and State Human Rights Commission if the demand went unmet within 15 days."
“Five orthopaedic visits and four emergency admissions, itemised and served on the civic body.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“A resident here has documented her injuries road by road and sent the civic body a bill. It is the most thorough survey this stretch has had.”
“Rode through Richmond Town once and understood why somebody reached for a lawyer instead of the complaint line.”
“The notice gave fifteen days and named the Lokayukta and the Human Rights Commission. The potholes remain unmoved, as does the corporation.”
