A group of civic activists staged an unconventional protest against potholes and poor road maintenance. Live cockroaches were released on a road as a symbol of filth and neglect. The protest was held by the Watchdog Foundation to highlight the persistent problem of potholes.
Despite road cement concretisation work, the number of potholes has not reduced. The BMC has received a significant number of pothole complaints, with 10,106 complaints logged between June 10 and September 10.
Further details about the protest and the issue of potholes are available from the source. The activists' use of cockroaches was meant to use humour to express their concerns.
