Mysore/Mysuru: The official machinery, the elected representatives and various Sub-Committees are leaving no stone unturned to celebrate this Dasara in a grand manner after a gap of 2 years. But in their enthusiasm to attract more and more tourists, they are ignoring one crucial aspect of the city infrastructure — pothole-filled roads.
As the 2020 and 2021 Dasara were low-key ones, none of the roads received a major facelift and only patchwork was done. But a couple of roads got relaid and asphalted when PM Narendra Modi visited the city in June this year. Over Rs. 10 crore was spent to make few roads new so that the VVIP convoy passed smoothly. After that, no work was taken up and there is hardly a month to go for Dasara’s inauguration and no one is speaking about the pothole-ridden roads while the common man is put to hardship daily as he is forced to have a bumpy ride.
