Bengaluru pothole makes it to Google landmarks; Twitter has field day

Bengaluru — India’s tech capital — is one of the Indian cities known for its poor road infrastructure. Potholes have been a major civic complaint of residents and cause of accidents, which have resulted in both injuries and deaths.

Amid this, on Wednesday, a pothole made it to the list of Google Map landmarks. Following this netizens took to the review section of the landmark and left hilarious comments. Notably, the pothole, which was named “Abizer’s Pothole”, was termed a ‘historical landmark’ on Google.

While it was later removed from the list of landmarks, the news went viral in no time and hundreds of comments were posted in the review section. While a person commented, “Top tier pothole. Great location. Very close to many grocery stores and all the good schools”, another one said, “Ever since its appearance, real estate is booming in the area. In case you are inconvenienced by the pothole, there is a conveniently located physiotherapist right opposite.” A person further added, “Very good pothole. Must visit at least once.”

Twitter has field day

Meanwhile, a screenshot of the landmark also went viral on Twitter where a social media user shared the image and the reviews with a caption, “In Bangalore, Potholes are landmarked on Google and have reviews.”
