Mysuru: Danger seems to be lurking for pedestrians around the Core Heritage Zone in city, particularly around the Mysore Palace, K.R. Circle, Sayyaji Rao Road and the Jumboo Savari Route from Mysore Palace to Bannimantap as concrete slabs and footpath tiles that were used to cover the roadside drains have been found either broken or damaged. One wrong move might land pedestrians inside the drain, breaking their limbs.
The area is frequented by a large number of tourists and shoppers and in order to beautify the same, the ambitious Raja Marga project (worth over Rs. 18 crore) was taken up in 2010 under the Rs. 100-crore special grant sanctioned by the State Government to give a royal touch to Jumboo Savari route.
