Not Just Me

A woman in Bengaluru got tired of a pothole and filled it herself

Bengaluru, India

Infrastructure, 6 November 2026

Reported

Dear Mamdani, a woman in Bengaluru carried two sacks of building material to a large pothole, poured them in, and levelled the surface.

The entire public works programme appears to have been completed by one person, in one video.

As far as we know, she has not been sent a tender, an inauguration date or a ribbon. We would like to suggest that she not check whether she is owed a refund on her road tax. She has done enough.

The facts

No jokes in this box. The ones above are ours. These details come from the published reports linked below.
