Bengaluru’s potholes and traffic woes have frequently made headlines. For the residents, the situation seems to remain the same despite repeated complaints. In a bid to highlight the hazardous potholes in the city, some Bengaluru residents and journalists staged a unique protest, inspired by Netflix’s popular South Korean series, Squid Game.
Squid Game-Inspired Protest In Bengaluru
In a video circulating on X, the individuals were seen running on a damaged footpath while wearing costumes like those worn by the contestants participating in Squid Game. The show revolved around a group of cash-strapped people competing in a series of challenges inspired by children’s games, which soon got dangerous.
The clip was shot near St John’s Hospital with the aim to highlight the hazardous conditions pedestrians face in one of the city’s busiest areas. In the video, one of the residents slips and almost falls into a pothole. The caption read, “It’s Skid game for Namma Bengaluru Journalists.”
How People Reacted To Squid Game Protest Clip
The video sparked a variety of reactions. One user wrote, “Hilarious. Wish there was some Squid Games theme music in the background.” Another slammed the Bengaluru municipal corporation for their failure to maintain the roads. “Skip jump and skid game,” a comment read.
One account wrote, “Bangalore is the worst city to live in. We need a lot of work to be done to make it world class.” A comment read, “Bravo Bengaluru’s footpaths are a mess and the roads are full of potholes — the situation is terrible. Respect to all the volunteers who took this different approach to highlight the issues to BBMP. Hopefully, BBMP takes action and fixes them now.”
In a similar incident earlier, residents in the Jayanagar area of Bengaluru expressed their disappointment in a unique way. To protest against the hazardous road conditions, they performed puja to a particularly troublesome pothole on Varamahalakshmi Vratham day. In the video, a woman and a man are seen performing a ritual at the edge of a large, water-filled pothole. It shows that they are offering flower petals, turmeric powder and kumkum to the pothole.
