Mangaluru: With the intention of saving lives, an Asha worker along with his parents has filled a hole in the UPPinangady-Subrahmanya road in Dakshina Regency Kannada Karnataka.

Also, in an effort to Avoiding holes, riders tend to turn in a sudden different direction, which can cause accidents, “he said.
Ananthavathi has been an Asha worker for the past two years, before he worked for Shishu mandir and elementary school.
“I think we cannot blame the government always, or cannot wait for them to act quickly.
I just fill the hole in the stretch of less than half a kilometer, right in front of my house.
There is more traffic here because the road leads to the Kukke Temple Subrahmanya is famous.
My father Keshava Gowda, 76, and Sesamma’s mother, 65, has helped collect mud and fill the hole.
This will provide assistance to travelers, “he added.
He filled the hole with his mother’s help on Monday, and because the video from his filling hole became a viral, he was hesitant to continue the work the next day.
On Wednesday, he returned to the place.
He had been told that the regional government had recorded his work and convinced him to take the contents of a temporary hole.
