This is not the first time that residents of Bengaluru have protested against bad roads in a creative style. In 2015, Baadal Nanjundaswamy, a 36-year-old visual artist, drew attention to a massive pothole in the Sultanpalya area in North Bengaluru by placing a fake crocodile in it.

A day after Nanjundaswamy’s drawing, workers from the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) arrived to fill up the pothole.

In July this year, residents of Anuppur in Madhya Pradesh protested against the condition of waterlogged streets in their locality by launching a ‘protest party’. In the videos of the protest, a group of people was seen sitting on chairs in the middle of a big pothole. They also played music, enjoyed snacks, and installed plants in other smaller potholes around them.
