- Gaping cracks, river-like water flow from atop Chamundi Hill pose risk
- IISc. Bengaluru Geo Tech team visits Hill; to advise restoration angles
Mysore/Mysuru: Within a span of 18 days, a portion of Chamundi Hill — between View Point and Nandi Statue — has collapsed thrice, increasing the risk to motorists and villagers up the Hill. Though traffic has been closed on the collapsed stretch, gaping cracks at many places on the road, crumbling rocks and mud, river-like flow of water have caused deep safety concerns. The first landslide occurred on Oct. 20, 2021 near the spot where a massive slip had occurred in 2019. It was presumed to be a minor slide and authorities had expressed confidence that the stretch can be repaired as it was done in 2019.
