Mysuru: The nearly century-old Government-run K.R. Hospital, popularly known as ‘Doddaspathre’ among the masses, Cheluvamba Hospital, PKTB and MMC&RI buildings, which are heritage structures, are in a shambles due to poor maintenance and negligence by authorities.
Recently, the portico of Fire Brigade building at Saraswathipuram, which is also a heritage structure, collapsed due to heavy rain. In the past, parts of the over-century-old Devaraja Market and Lansdowne Building have collapsed. But neither the District Administration nor the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) seem to be in a hurry to take a firm decision on the fate of the two iconic buildings.
