Miffed Bengaluru Residents Geo-Tag Pothole To Protest Poor Road Condition, Leave Netizens In Splits

New Delhi: Miffed with the poor condition of roads and potholes in Bengaluru, local residents came up with a unique idea to draw the attention of the government and to stage their protest. Locals in Bellandur area geo-tagged a pothole, naming it ‘Abizer’s pothole’ and captioned it as the ‘Historical landmark in Bengaluru, Karnataka’ on Google.

Images of the pothole has gone viral on the social media and netizens have been poking fun at it with hilarious reactions.

“Ever since its appearance, real estate is booming in the area, in case you are inconvenienced by the pothole. There is a conveniently located physiotherapist right opposite,” wrote a user on Twitter.

Another wrote, “Top tier potholes, great location very close to many grocery stores and all the good schools.”

“A great idea to pin it on Google. Could’ve named it after the local corporator or MLA/MP. Let them have their day on Google as well when their pothole tops search results (Sic),” tweeted another one.

It is to be noted that the incident comes to light a day after the Karnataka High Court rapped the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) over its negligence of the civic issues ailing the city.

The HC division bench, headed by acting chief justice Alok Aradhe told the BBMP lawyer, “You convey the sense of urgency. Tell him (BBMP commissioner) the seriousness of this situation and its urgency. If we are not shouting, it does not mean we are not serious.”
