Bangalore's very own magnificent potholes
You have read about me cribbing about Bangalore traffic in the preceding posts. The state of roads in Bangalore does not make matters any easier. Some one has now come with an idea to photograph potholes in various areas in Bangalore (www.bangalorepotholes.com). You can even search on your area to have a good look at the potholes you wade your way through on a daily basis! Splendid!
But i doubt if this site can succeed in its aim of shaming the local government into improving the state of affairs. These guys have a hide thats tougher than a rhino and given that Bangalore has been categorized as an A1 status city now by the Central govt., resulting in a fat increase in the allowances of the officials responsible for the infrastructure, this hide is likely to get thicker still.
But the effort has to be lauded. My only suggestion is that the site could do with a option which will enable a reader to rate the best pothole in the city! You can skip to the end and leave a response.
