Baadal Nanjundaswamy, an artist sculpted a crocodile in a huge pothole as wide as 12 feet in the City near R T Nagar on Thursday.
You bet, the civic authorities won’t be scared, as there are sharks there, quipped the passers-by.
As the creative protest went viral on social media, it was an art attack for the BBMP who rushed to the spot early on Friday morning to fill up the pothole.
Renowned artist Baadal Nanjundaswamy from Mysore created an eye-catching sculpture – a crocodile on a huge pothole on Sultanpalya Main Road on Thursday to attract the attention of civic authorities. This creative protest did get a quick response by BBMP who filled up the pothole on Friday morning. By that time, the creative protest had gone viral on the social media.
The pothole was getting bigger and bigger for the past one month due to rains and water logging. Motorists especially two-wheeler riders were struggling hard to pass that stretch. Yet the BBMP failed to notice and fill it up.
So Baadal decided to take this step of creative protest. He hired the life size crocodile made out of fibre glass from a film producer.
The overnight rains had filled up pothole with water and it was a perfect setting for the artist to draw the attention of BBMP. After placing the crocodile, he splased a tinge of green colour to look as if it is in a marshy land. The scene appeared like a real one for the motorists who passed by.
