Mysuru: Alarmed by increased vehicular movement inside its campus that is disturbing the academic atmosphere, the University of Mysore has decided to ban the entry of private vehicles on all the roads criss-crossing Manasagangothri. The issue has been discussed at the Syndicate meeting held recently and modalities of the ban implementation are being worked out. “We will look into the pros and cons of the ban and will also discuss the guidelines, some of it that have already been debated and agreed upon by the Syndicate members,” said University Registrar D. Bharathi. Speaking to Star of Mysore this morning, Bharathi said that more than Manasagangothri students, scholars, officials and students, the public was using the road often. “This is causing disturbance to academic atmosphere where students are distracted. We will issue passes and stickers for all the university fraternity and only they will be allowed entry,” she said. For guests and visitors who come to the campus to participate at various events, special arrangement will be made for authorised entry, she added. Once the ban is enforced, valid users have to paste the sticker on their vehicles and the guards at the four gates will check the documents before allowing entry. “We will follow the Vidhana Soudha model in Bengaluru where only people who have valid passes on them and their vehicles are allowed inside. This will also ensure the safety of students who are now exposed to increased vehicular movement,” she said.
