Mysore/Mysuru: Following public complaints about dangerously hanging tree branches and weakened, dried-out branches that could fall on unsuspecting motorists, the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has commenced a citywide pruning operation this morning.
The MCC’s actions come in response to the tragic death of Reginald Platel (67), a resident of Roopanagar in February this year. On the morning of Feb. 6, Platel was riding his scooter on the road from Kukkarahalli Lake towards Bogadi, passing Crawford Hall, when a large branch from a peepal tree in front of 'Chandravana,' the Government Ayurveda Farm near the Government Press in Saraswathipuram, fell on him.
