Astronaut Stunt Fixes Potholes in Bangalore

I felt this story, being funny and positive, was worth sharing. Source from the BBC:

Authorities have filled in potholes in a road in the southern Indian city of Bangalore a day after an artist used them to recreate a "Moon exploration".

Artist Baadal Nanjundaswamy's video, featuring an "astronaut" slowly stepping across a "lunar landscape" gained traction on Indian social media.

Thousands of Indians are injured every year in accidents caused by potholes.

Nanjundaswamy has gained a reputation for using his art to highlight civic issues - and potholes in particular.

"The authorities don't contact me and I don't contact them either. But they always fix the pothole," he told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi.

"I must have done this in about 50 potholes and the civic authorities have responded by fixing most of them," he added.

However, he tweeted his gratitude when the latest potholes he identified were paved over by authorities.

So how bad are potholes in your area? Any thoughts or comments?
