Man dresses up as 'Yamaraja' to highlight bad condition of roads in Bengaluru

A man dressed up as Yamaraja, the god of death, and staged a protest in Bengaluru to highlight the bad condition of roads in the city. The protest was led by an organisation called Changemakers of Kanakpura Road.


In a unique protest to highlight the bad condition of roads in Bengaluru, an organisation called 'Changemakers of Kanakapura Road' held a protest with a man dressed up as Yamaraja, the god of death, along with a buffalo.

In the video of the symbolic protest that was widely circulated on social media, the man dressed as Yamaraja can be seen standing in the middle of the road with the buffalo as protesters shouted slogans.

 

"Yamaraja on roads? Dont be surprised, the MLA Krishnappa & BDA has given tender to yama to take away people! Yesterday #CMKR did an unique protest against the #pothole roads of Anjanapura. Even after a very rigorous protests last year the MLA & BDA hasnt woken up!" Changemakers of Kanakapura Road tweeted.


"We chose the Yamadharmaraja theme because this stretch of road is the best example of real 'naraka darshan' (hell) for the commuters using this road," said Abdul Aleem from Changemakers of Kanakapura Road.

 

'ROADS IN HORRIBLE CONDITION FOR 10 YEARS'

"This stretch of road is in horrible condition since over 10 years. Not only this, but all Anjanapura roads are the same or in worse conditions. Last time, our unique protest yielded results but only 2 km of the road was asphalted even though Rs 25 crore was released for 13 km of the road," said Aleem.

 

"Even after so much naming and shaming both the MLA and BDA authorities, they haven't woken up. Residents continue to suffer," he added.

 

Pointing out the issues the residents have faced, Aleem said an ambulance couldn't go to an apartment and the patient had to be taken in a car. "The resident recently died in the hospital."

 

Urging the Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA) and the local MLA to asphalt the roads soon to solve commuting issues, Aleem warned of aggressive protests in the days to come if the issue is not solved at the earliest.

Team India handed Pakistan their biggest defeat in the IND-PAK fixtures as the Men in Blue opened their account with a 228-run win in the Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours. Finally after several rain delays and frustrating two days of start-stop cricket, Team India scripted their biggest-ever win against Pakistan in ODI history surpassing their 140-run win in 2008, to open their account in the Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours on Monday, September 11 in Colombo. It was a combined team effort as the batters propelled the side to their joint-best score in ODIs against Pakistan while  Kuldeep Yadav 's five-wicket haul was the icing on the cake as Pakistan were skittled out for just 128 with two of their players not batting. Virat Kohli  and  KL Rahul  started watchfully from India's overnight score of 147 following quickfire fifties from skipper  Rohit Sharma  and  Shubman Gill  on Day 1. Kohli kept ticking the scorecard with singles and doubles and got boundaries at regular intervals. Rahul was
