Mysuru: Amidst protests and counter protests, the ground-breaking ceremony (guddali puja) for the road straightening works on Hunsur Road near Jaladarshini Guest House was performed by leaders cutting across party lines, here this morning.
Despite the stiff opposition from the residents and environmental groups to the Rs. 12 crore project, the might of the State was in ample evidence as the activists who had gathered in advance to protest against the alleged ill-conceived project were shouted down and forced to withdraw from the protest.
