Cities in need of reviews

Since one of the things that seems to be a challenge in this, is where to set your Bonus area, I figured I'd go and look at some of the cities in India, and compare population to POI count.
While only Niantic can tell us where there are submissions waiting approval, large cities that have some POIs are more likely to have players who can submit than not. So I'll post below cities that could use help. Feel free to request the info on a given city and I'll see what I can do, though I'm aiming for cities > 1 million population.
- Bhopal - 1.8 million, 451 POIs.
- Indore - 1.9 million, 761 POIs.
- Kanpur - 2.92 million, 848 POIs.
- Varanasi - 1.2 million, 491 POIs.
- Agra - 1.58 million, 1032 POIs.
- Vadodara - 2.17 million, 1043 POIs.
- Rajkot - 1.287 million, 522 POIs.
- Maduri - 1.47 million, 1018 POIs.
- Coimbatore - 1.6 million, 1297 POIs.

If I remembered correctly, Kigali (capital of Ruanda, Central Africa) has around 10 POIs and a population of 1.17 million.
There is always a possibility to have less than 500 POIs^^
Sure, but this isn't the "Central Africa Challenge".
ah, I get you now. My bad 🤦♂️
Given the situation and my inability to read indian text, I prefer reviewing in places where the submissions are still "basic" such as place of worship, fountain, gazebo, statues, etc. These kinds of submissions doesn't really need understanding of the language. It is enough by seeing it.
Unfortunately, these all are usually only submitted in newly developing area.
Yeah, without any real input from Niantic about where they have the largest backlogs of submissions, we're just sort of guessing based on the fact that there's low portal counts and high populations.

Some places have fewer POIs because there aren't as many people nominating things there. Eg. Kanpur. Kanpur comes within range of Lucknow which has a very strong reviewing community. Lucknow has been consistently growing on the other hand.
Yup but,

If @NianticCasey-ING wants to make the list based on where they need reviewers, I'm eager to see it :-)
I am eager to see this as well, if possible. @NianticCasey-ING
I hope that with this bonus location being set for this event, @NianticCasey-ING , most POIs will be open to all. Instead of those limited to the bonus location. That way , one is not being limited due to the area you selected.
I might choose this location as I see Taj Mahal.
