Bangalore’s Pothole Becomes City Landmark; Gets Listed On Google Maps. *slow claps*

Bangalore is known for its historical landmarks. No! We aren’t referring to the Bangalore Palace or Tipu Sultan’s Fort. It’s the under-construction flyovers and potholes that have stood the test of time. And now, the cherry on the cake is a Bangalore pothole, that recently got listed on Google Maps. Yes! It’s now a city landmark.

In fact, citizens are using jokes to create awareness about the pathetic condition of Bangalore roads. Earlier, Biocon executive chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw raised concern about the same. She slammed the government for pothole-filled roads. And further enquired on Twitter if anyone even listened to Bangaloreans’ concerns.

We hope the government takes strict action ASAP to fill potholes and repair roads in Bangalore.
