Mysore/Mysuru: Once an idyllic little city, Mysuru prided itself on its leisure and laid-back outlook to life where walking predominated among the modes of getting from one place to the other. Now the city is no longer a haven for pedestrians, thanks to unusable pavements both at the city centre and even on the arterial roads.
While footpaths are broken, uneven and with gaping holes on many roads in central areas, arterial roads that lead to residential pockets are fully covered with weeds and dirt. Take the Lingambudhi Lake Road for example, which was full of wild growth, forcing pedestrians to walk on the roads risking their life and limb.
