A Twitter user from Bengaluru shared a sarcastic post explaining the conditions of the city roads and the internet completely agrees.
Potholes in Bengaluru
Potholes in Bengaluru have become a major problem. No matter how developed a city is, some parts or areas will certainly face potholes-related issues. Potholes not only hinder the route but have also become a reason for road accidents. A large number of people die in accidents due to potholes, but the authorities continue to appear to be unbothered by the rising figures.
With Bengaluru facing severe battering due to heavy rain, the situation has become worse now. Recently, concerns have been raised about the safety of citizens, especially due to poor infrastructure. Heavy showers in the past week have made Bengaluru roads difficult to maneuver, for both pedestrians and vehicle users.
With the present condition, Bengalureans are increasingly demanding that the responsible civic agency, BBMP in particular, be held accountable. However, given that engineers are reserved only in certain cases, and the penalties are small even if found guilty, this is not much of a deterrent.
Twitter Trolls
A Twitter user from Bengaluru shared a sarcastic post explaining the conditions of the city roads. In the post, she explains how easy it was to play Golf on Bengaluru roads. Along with a picture that read ‘Coming soon to a street near you’, the user wrote, “In Bengaluru, the city is now a golf course.”

You don't have to try hard in this form of golf. Any shot can be a hole in one, given the number of potholes!
