Watch: Social worker rolls on stretch of road to protest against potholes

These days, people are coming up with new creative ways to protest. You don’t need violence, and you don’t need to disturb anyone while protesting. If your method of protesting is unique enough, then you will automatically get the attention of everyone.

A social worker named Nityananda Olakadu was found rolling on a stretch of road in Udupi district of Karnataka to protest against the potholes and bad condition of roads. The video of this incident has been shared by the news agency ANI on Twitter with the caption, “#WATCH | Karnataka: A social worker named Nityananda Olakadu rolls on a stretch of a road as he protests in a unique manner against potholes on the roads in Udupi”.

As Olakadu engages in the uncomfortable and probably even painful process of rolling, some people can be seen standing there and perhaps trying to make sense of what he is doing. A man can also be seen shooting his video with a smartphone. It is apparent from the video that the condition of the road is very bad. It appears to be very muddy.

Some people said that instead of doing this, he can actually work towards fixing the roads.

“If he works on fixing some of these big potholes with the help of some materials instead of doing drama and causing traffic on the road, then the motorists will greatly benefit from it,” an account commented.

instead of doing this natakbazi n causing traffic….
if he fixes some of these big Potholes using some materials then it would hv helped motorists…@MrsGandhi @nitin_gadkari @anandmahindra @hvgoenka pic.twitter.com/8fdb2gp6dN
