Mysore/Mysuru: Demanding the provision of adequate space to build a road median and junction to facilitate the crossing of the junction with ease, residents of Prakruthi Layout on T. Narasipur Road (NH-766) staged a protest on Tuesday.
The scores of residents gathered in the middle of the Highway and explained that “The road widening works are being carried out on the Highway abutting the layout, by National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for the past one year. However, the road median is being constructed on the middle of the road blocking the way, that would severely inconvenience the residents of Prakruthi Layout and nearby localities, as they would be forced to ride up to 1.5 km to take a U-turn to reach other side of the road. The elderly residents and school and college going children of the locality will surely feel the pinch, the protesters alleged.
