Death with its mouth wide open

Manhole deaths are common in India. Every now and then you can see newspaper reports, usually about children who had fallen to their deaths in a open manholes left uncovered by the municipal corporation.

Sadly, none of these reports are a deterrent to the civic authorities have absolutely no respect for their work.

Here's a picture of an open manhole near the Mahadevapura junction, Bangalore. I've seen this manhole in this state for months now and I'm glad I made a decision to click this image.



How many kids should fall into this one for the authorities to take notice?

I will be writing about this to the Bangalore civic authorities and also to all major newspapers.

Will keep everyone updated about the progress, if any.
