What are roads in bangalore, but potholes? Maybe the govternment has MISUNDERSTOOD the reason why Bangalore is known as the garden city. It was because of the gardens that dotted the city. We do not need all the roads to resemble ploughed-up fields to justify the name.
I recently came across this fundoo site www.bangalorepothole.com. It looks like the perfect techie way of getting back at the indifference of the state government. Start a website and use technology to garner mass support for the cause. That's where bangalorepothole.com comes in. It has a whole lot of information related to roads and potholes.
There are links to govt. organizations like the BMP and BWSSB. Then there are pictures of potholes located at prime locations all over bangalore. You can also click pictures of your friendly neighborhood potholes and submit them here. They even urge you to go ahead and adopt a pothole. For the historically inclined thera is a even a section on the history and geography of potholes. And don't worry Bangalore is not alone, potholes are international creatures. Refer to the "Potholes around the world" section.

The raison d etre for the site's existence is:-
Through BangalorePotHole.com, citizens of Bangalore are allowed to share their experiences on the roads, especially with the pot holes. It also provides a valuable insight into inconveniences, accidents and other risks factors attached as result of poor maintenance of roads.

In an effort to facilitate this dialogue, we have put together together information on engineering facts of local street maintenance. We hope that based on this information you and other citizens in your community can become a positive and effective force in working with your local officials for better streets.
We will continue to add more information to this site relating to the roads and its maintenance in the due course of time.

Overall a cute and well-done site. It shouldn't get labelled as a prank/funny site. Hope it works the wonder it is trying to work. My best wishes to them and I sincereley hope we actually see a solution to this horrendous problem.
