Over 100 residents in Jaipur’s Gokulpura hold an astronaut-themed protest to draw attention to road craters and drainage problems on Pratap Circle Road. Two participants dress as astronauts and enter water-filled potholes, staging a “lunar” scene. The demonstration runs for about two hours and is intended to highlight the extent of road damage.
Residents say they have approached local officials for months—some accounts describe three months—seeking action on the broken roads and poor drainage that leave potholes filled with water. They report that tenders for road repair and drainage work have already been awarded. Construction is expected to begin after the monsoon season.
While the outlets focus on the same event, they frame it slightly differently: one describes the protest as “landing on road craters,” and another emphasizes the “moon craters” comparison. Both accounts tie the theatrical element to infrastructure neglect and the local timeline for repairs.
