It's usual for monsoon rains to extensively damage roads across the country but a District Collector in Kerala has sent out an unusual warning to officials this time: fix potholes on time or pay for the repairs from your salary. A popular tourist destination in God's Own Country and the largest municipal corporation in the state, Kochi is no stranger to the nightmare of potholed roads. But officials in charge of repairs for some 45 roads, most of them in Kochi city, had to face an ultimatum from the District Collector S Suhas on Monday.
