Residents held an unconventional protest by using long jumps, measuring tapes, and costumes to slam the government over the dozens of potholes on a major road in India.

Footage shows the creative demonstration featuring individuals dressed as the mythological characters Yamraj and Chitragupt participating in a long jump competition to highlight the state's pothole problem in Karnataka.

The video was filmed on the Adi Udupi-Malpe road connecting Udupi to Malpe Beach.

Yamraj, the God of Death, oversees the competition, while another individual plays Chitragupt, the deity who records the deeds of the deceased.

This unique protest underscores the urgent need for road repairs to enhance public safety and convenience.
