12-Year Old Hyd’s Good Samaritan Takes Upon Himself To Fill Potholes:- The little toddler Chinnari’s death in a borewell near Chevella in Telangana’s Ranga Reddy District has sent shock waves all over, but it has moved a 12-year old to take matters into his own hands.

Even as the GHMC remained unmoved, Ravi Teja, a student of a government school, was seen at Habsiguda main road, collecting gravel and filling up potholes on Monday afternoon. The boy who passed his class 5, said he would be joining a residential school in Ghatkesar. Without anyone’s direction or advice, I had gone to work on the potholes, said Ravi Teja. Unmindful of the traffic and the pollution, he worked for hours.

When a reporter called Ravi Teja, he said “I cannot forget how Chinnari fell into the borewell and died. Every time I travel I see commuters trying to negotiate their way past potholes. I have seen many people fall. I do not want anyone to die this way. Monday was the first day that I attempted this, I will continue to fill potholes,” he said.

When asked if the speeding vehicles were not a concern, he said “No.” Ravi Teja said he would get his friends to join him in his effort.

Kudos to you little boy. It is high time the Government should show some responsibility to the citizens and learn from this little boy !!
