Mysuru: Following a series of complaints from motorists about threshing paddy, horse gram and ragi crops on roads to separate the crop from the sheaves that cause accidents, Mysuru Superintendent of Police Ravi D. Channannavar has directed Sub-Inspectors to hold meetings with farmers along with Panchayat Development Officers and other Revenue Department officials to discourage the farmers from using public roads for threshing their harvest.
As the harvesting season reaches its peak in the month of December and January, farmers use roads to thrash harvested crop in order to obtain grains. Roads including T. Narasipura Road, Bannur Road, Suttur Road, M.C. Hundi, Meghalapura Road, Mellahalli, Varakodu, Thanthigulli, Badagalahundi and surrounding areas are used by farmers for this purpose.
