13-yr-old fills pothole which caused grandfather's accident, putting him in hospital with fracture

Class 8 student Masilamani filled the pothole which had put his grandfather in hospital with a fracture after he fell from his motorcycle.

Highlighting the apathy of authorities in India, a schoolboy in Puducherry took it upon himself to fill the pothole which injured his grandfather.

Class 8 student Masilamani filled the pothole which had put his grandfather in hospital with a fracture after he fell from his motorcycle. The 13-year-old collected sand, gravel, and other materials scattered around the village, mixed them with cement, and filled potholes in a road in Sendhanatham.

"My wish is that nobody should meet with accidents and suffer injuries as my grandfather has," he said while receiving a complimentary copy of a book from former Legislator Vayyapuri Manikandan in appreciation of the youngster's gesture.

The boy's neighbours congratulated him and presented him shawls. The Puducherry-Pathukannu route has been in a bad condition for the last seven years and nothing done to restore the road, said a resident of the village after meeting the boy.
