Not Just Me
A woman in Bengaluru got tired of a pothole and filled it herself
Bengaluru, India
ReportedDear 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
- On 28 July 2026, Asianet Newsable reported on a viral video of a Bengaluru woman filling a large, deep pothole.
- The video shows her carrying two sacks, emptying stone chips into the pothole and levelling it with another bag of material.
