Mysuru: Third week of September 2017 saw unprecedented flooding of Srirampura and surrounding areas in city where roads were submerged, lakes breached and normal life was thrown out of gear. So much so that boats had to be used to vacate residents to safer areas.
One of the flooded areas was the Dasara Exhibition Grounds where most of the stalls were filled with water and the Amusement Park was almost submerged for days together. As a result, the Expo saw less footfalls and shopkeepers reported huge losses. Even the extension of dates did not help exhibitors make profits.
