'Must Visit At Least Once': This Pothole In Bengaluru Made It To Google Maps, Receives 5 Star Rating

The potholes on the roads of the tech capital have again managed to come in highlight. It has been a prevalent issue, existing for a very long period. Commuters often pull down the civic authorities for the same as potholes on the roads increase the chance of accidents for vehicles, especially two-wheelers.

The Karnataka High Court recently, while hearing a petition filed in 2015 regarding the poor condition of the city's infrastructure, told the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagar Palike (BBMP) to 'be honest' as it claimed that only 221 pothole remains in the city. Earlier this year, the Karnataka HC directed the BBMP to take measures and prepare a plan of action to fill all the potholes in the city.

Making tech capital's potholes popular worldwide, someone landmarked a pothole in the Bellandur area on Google Maps. Before the company came to know, the 'Abizer's pothole' started receiving hilarious reviews. Later, Google managed to remove the location from its listings.

One of the reviews, posted by an anonymous user, reads, "Visited it during late night hours. It slowed me and asked me to tell a story. It was a scary experience, and it did not let me go until I finished a story for it. Story of a corrupt government which had all resources but kept the public away from bare minimums."
