On Saturday, a biker - who was crossing the Yelahanka Road - died after he was hit by a car that overturned due to a pothole. More details are yet to be known.

Deaths in Bengaluru are turning out to be a huge concern in the Karnataka capital. In another incident, a 50-year-old woman who was commuting on a scooter was run over by a bus when she tried to maneuver a pothole in Rajajinagar earlier this month. She died later at a hospital. Recently, the Kundanhalli underpass saw a huge pothole in the middle of the road with a stretch caving in. The underpass was opened months ago for the public.

The residents of the city, opposition party MLAs, sat around the potholes, placed light lamps and burst a few crackers, demanding the ruling BJP government improve the road conditions of the country’s tech capital.
