In Bangalore, India, the software hub, the corporation body has started a contest.. 'Spot the Pothole' contest.

Fed up with complaints on potholes in the city, the corporation body made a contest idea and announced that anybody who sees a pothole in the city roads will win 100 rupees for each hole spotted.

The interesting fact is .. this amount will be given to every winner deducted from the pay of the engineer who contracted that stretch of road.

The scheme worked!!

The city's Corporation made note of all holes and filled them up making all key bangalore roads pothole free, .. in a crowded city where potholes in roads was like normal all these days.

But seems like no 100 Rupee winners. Because *Conditions apply... Conditions were, every pothole spotted should be 8inches by 8inches in diameter and have depth of 2 inches. Also, it should be on a road stretch announced part of the contest. :o) Whatever heck!
