The ongoing West Asia conflict has affected road repair and resurfacing works in Bengaluru as several asphalting projects in the city have come to a halt due to a disruption in bitumen supply, sources in the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) confirmed to The Hindu.

A chief engineer from one of the Bengaluru corporations explained that bitumen is used in asphalt mixes, and its scarcity has forced corporations to rethink taking up large-scale asphalting works. They are now expecting further disruptions in the coming days.
