Hosa Road? Call it Hole Road: Citizens

BENGALURU: Residents of Hosa Road have urged the civic body to rename the stretch as ‘Hole Road’ to more accurately describe its worn-out character.

The 8-km stretch links Hosur Road with Sarjapur Road, passing through Kasavanahalli. Residents say it is riddled with potholes and the civic body, BBMP, has failed to fix them despite repeated pleas.



They have now requested Pothole Raja , an initiative which seeks citizens’ involvement in filling up potholes across Bengaluru, to stand in for BBMP and address the problem.


“Dear @BBMP_MAYOR @ BBMPCOMM@bbmpcomm & Dear @pothole_raja, Team, This is the condition of Hosa Road near KSRP Camp/Nadini Jn. On non-rainy days, then imagine rainy days Plz repair, fill the potholes at least. The road became very dangerous to drive (sic),” Hosa resident resident Bharat Kumar tweeted.



Another resident, Shibin Dev, wrote: "It should be renamed to “Hole Road” instead of “Hosa Road”. #BBMP gives you roads with beauty(hole) spots as a token of appreciation for paying taxes."
