BJP Ghosh while subjecting on this has sought the attention of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. 

The problem of manholes in Kolkata is not a new one. Notably, on Friday, an auto rickshaw driver in his 50s fell prey to an open manhole at Dum Dum, Kolkata; after returning from work. The residents present at the situation had cited the concern to the Civic Administration body. However, when the complaint reached the officials they denied of any claims of mis management and rather went on to blame the residents of the area, suggesting that someone must have deliberately opened the pothole.
