Mangaluru: Video of school boy filling pothole goes viral, netizens appreciate gesture


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (ANK)

Mangaluru, Aug 19: A video showing a school boy filling up a pothole with stones near Kankanady has gone viral.

There was pothole on the edge of the concrete road near Kankanady flower market, which was posing danger to motorists. Observing it, a school student picked up heaps of stones and filled the pothole.

The pothole menace has been on the rise in the city as well the district limits which has claimed some lives and injured several. There was a huge public outrage after the death of Aathish on August 5, where many raised voices and demanded to fill all the potholes at the earliest to avoid such incidents.

The gesture in the video is widely appreciated by the netizens.

    Nice to see a tender mind of school children... reflecting civic sense..., sadly now a days... the politically backed student organizations slowly & steadily corrupting their mind to serve the third class thug crony capitalists....

    A good gesture. Travelling around Mangalore city, and India in general and seeing things for myself paints a very grim picture. How many lives (Tax Payers) are lost on these roads on a daily basis, and what was ever done to address the issue?

    People dont know what there job is ... you send children to study they do pot hole jobs. Mla and mps instead of looking at the larger picture of developing the country,they are involved in changing names of prominent places and inaugurating buildings and establishment s , and creating communal tentions for there mutual benefits.they dont know what to do... Mentality of most of the neitizens similar.

    It shows the standard of our students they have to study in schools and to do this potholes filling work for the sack of Mangalore citizens. Our MCC and representative knew that students or some social worker will do that work. Because they know only to raid footpath vendors, and those not wearing masks Nothing else.

    I appreciate the thoughtfulness and social awareness of the student. But now a days, I have observed that people or organizations are taking care of government responsibilities and tax payers money getting wasted in unnecessary works and wastage of works. It is Governments duty to look after all public works and we need to raise voice government fails in providing proper infrastructure. Every Indian pays tax directly or indirectly.
