Mysuru: It was with great fanfare that the famous Dasara procession route, Sayyaji Rao Road, was given the moniker ‘Raja Marga.’ It is almost ten years now and nothing seems to have gone right with this ambitious project of the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC). But who is to bell the cat to solve the problems?
The first thing that attracts the people when they come to Mysuru is the wide roads designed by the visionary rulers. Sayyaji Rao Road is one of them which has its own significance. Realising this, the MCC no doubt decided to develop this road as ‘Raja Marga’ (Royal Path). Sadly, however, it has remained an eyesore from the time it has been conceived and there is nothing ‘royal’ about it.
