If firms feel safe, they'll work here: DK Shivakumar on row over Bengaluru pothole

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar defends Bengaluru’s global reputation, saying the city is safe and attracts lakhs of engineers and foreign professionals due to its strong talent pool. He hit out at opposition leaders for not raising funds from the Centre for infrastructure, especially roads, and reminded them of past central schemes. On potholes, Shivakumar said a permanent solution is being worked on, with strict deadlines set after recent rains worsened the issue.
