By Saturday, we will complete the work.” The civic body has failed to meet the deadline to fill all the potholes in the city despite the Chief Commissioner directing officials to fill the potholes across the city by November 5. Later, the BBMP fixed November 14 as the deadline, due to rain in the city.
