Mysore/Mysuru: Several residents of Bogadi and SBM Layout in city have raised concerns about the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) allegedly constructing a road in the middle of Dewan Poornaiah Canal. This Canal serves as the main feeder Canal, supplying fresh water to Kukkarahalli Lake and runs between Bogadi and SBM Layout.
Local residents assert that previous Deputy Commissioners, Harsha Gupta and D. Randeep, had issued orders to clear encroachments on the Canal. Numerous surveys in the area confirmed the existence of the original 22-km-long Canal. Despite efforts by Harsh Gupta and Randeep to demolish unauthorised structures and demarcate a buffer zone, certain vested interests obstructed these actions, said the residents.
