Mysore/Mysuru: Even as the drive against footpath encroachment is on, works are underway to erect a pole to install overhead cantilever with advertisement adjacent to the footpath, near vegetable market on Mahatma Gandhi (M.G.) Road in the city, that has drawn a flak from the general public.
The cement pillars are built on either side of the road at the ground level to erect the pole. This may not just hinder the smooth flow of traffic, but also cause accidents. Though it is accepted that the will help the vehicle riders, it is unfair to create a traffic hurdle on the other hand. As the very stretch of road is chock-a-block with traffic throughout the day with the bustling market nearby and auto and other types of goods vehicles parked, it will lead to further chaos.
