Mysuru: “Most of the city areas including the Central Business District are pitch dark in the absence of streetlights and most of the footpaths have gaping holes waiting to take in victims. I don’t need your stories and excuses. Get on to work immediately.” These were the words of an irritated Mysuru District Minister V. Somanna who inspected the Raja Marga and certain stretches around the Mysore Palace last night.
A visibly upset Somanna chided the authorities of the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) for not taking up works even as Dasara is just days away. “How can you expect pedestrians to walk on these footpaths and there are no streetlights to at least see the gaping holes,” he questioned.
