Mysore/Mysuru: Hundreds of night commuters along the Outer Ring Road – a 42-kilometre long carriageway -- can now heave a sigh of relief as streetlights along the road have been switched on after a long gap.
The road had plunged into darkness, endangering the safety of people using the motorway and residents of layouts beyond the road. Lights were switched on for last Dasara following the intervention of the then Mysuru District Minister V. Somanna who took the issue to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa. But just days after Dasara, the lights were switched off as the electricity bills were not paid.
