Mysore/Mysuru: After a gap of two years with the surge in Coronavirus snatching the joy of school trips, the annual school excursion is back and Mysuru being one of the top tourist destinations is on the itinerary of most of them. But the burgeoning traffic and official apathy in manning the traffic is posing a threat to the young tourists. In the last few days, school children are coming in hordes on trip and is evident with footfalls at Mysore Palace, Mysuru Zoo and Dasara Exhibition Grounds, all located in the heart of the city.
But they find it harrowing at times even to cross the roads due to increase in traffic movement and absence of measures to enforce the rules to facilitate pedestrians, mainly outsiders. Even when the teachers accompanying the students signal at the vehicles to stop a while to cross the road, the riders appear rude paying no heed to them.
