Report Pune Potholes Before the Monsoon.

How do I report a pothole in Pune?

Download the Opinify app (free on iOS and Android). Open the app, tap 'Report an Issue', select Roads/Pothole, take a photo, pin the location, and submit. Takes under 60 seconds. Your report is immediately visible on the public map and neighbours in your ward can add their voice.

How long does PMC take to fix potholes?

By law, PMC is required to repair road damage within 30 to 90 days of a complaint being filed. Pre-monsoon repairs (April–June) are prioritised as PMC runs annual road repair cycles before the rains. In practice, potholes with multiple complaints and photographic documentation are repaired faster than single reports.

Which roads in Pune have the most pothole complaints?

Pune residents commonly report road damage on Baner–Balewadi Road, the Wakad–Hinjewadi approach, FC Road (Deccan), and the Aundh–Ravet corridor. Opinify is currently most active in Baner — check the live reports above for what residents there are raising right now.

What is the PMC pothole complaint number?

PMC's toll-free helpline for all complaints including potholes is 1800-233-4040. Operational 7am to 11pm daily. You can also file online at pgrs.punecorporation.org. For fastest resolution — report on Opinify where multiple resident reports trigger civic action.

Can I get compensation if I damage my vehicle in a Pune pothole?

Yes. Under Section 283 of the IPC and the Motor Vehicles Act, you can claim compensation from PMC for vehicle damage caused by potholes. You need: (1) photograph of the pothole with date/time, (2) photograph of vehicle damage, (3) PMC complaint number showing the pothole was reported, (4) repair estimate from authorised garage. File a claim at your ward office. Keep all documentation.

What if I report a pothole and nothing happens?

First, check if other residents have reported the same pothole — aggregated reports are harder to ignore. If still unresolved after 30 days: (1) Re-file with reference to the original complaint number. (2) File an RTI under Section 6(1) asking for the action taken report. (3) Tag @PMCPune on Twitter with your complaint number and photo. (4) Contact your ward councillor directly.

Is Opinify different from the PMC Care app for pothole complaints?

Yes. PMC Care files your complaint with PMC and depends on ward officers to act. Opinify makes your complaint publicly visible on a map — neighbours can add their voice to the same pothole, creating aggregated evidence that civic organisations can act on directly.

How do I find pothole reports near me in Pune?
