Srirangapatna: Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam, Ranganathittu and historical monuments at Srirangapatna are some of the world famous tourist spots which is frequented by thousands of tourists from across the country and globe. But travelling to these places is a horrible experience to motorists as the connecting stretch of the road from Paschimavahini in Srirangapatna to the Pump House is in its worst shape with the road filled with crater-like potholes.
This stretch on Madras-Kannur Road connects many tourist places on which about 8,000 tourist vehicles ply daily. Apart from tourist vehicles, hundreds of goods vehicles transport essential commodities, overloaded trucks and tippers from quarries and trucks carrying debris from the ongoing 10-lane Bengaluru-Mysuru Express Corridor use this stretch of the road. This stretch turns into a nightmare for drivers especially during rainy season as it is impossible for them to locate potholes and good road.
