Last week, the Lucknow edition of a Hindi daily, published four images showing the condition of city roads. A person wearing a helmet can be seen sitting on pothole-ridden roads. In response to the tweet, some people tweeted a screenshot of an Instagram post where it was claimed that the images were from Bilaspur, a city in Chattisgarh.
