In view of the water-logging on the Mysuru-Bengaluru road on Monday after heavy overnight rains in Ramanagaram region, KSRTC in Mysuru diverted the Bengaluru-bound buses to alternative routes.
KSRTC’s Divisional Commissioner in Mysuru Ashok Kumar said all Bengaluru-bound buses including Airavatha were diverted to take the Malavalli-Kanakapura-Bengaluru route. The diversion is expected to remain in place till the water recedes from the highway and facilitates smooth transportation.
People travelling in private vehicles from Mysuru to Bengaluru were also diverted to alternative routes. Sources in Mandya district police control room said the vehicles plying on the route were diverted at Maddur. A few others took a deviation at Srirangapatna to pass through Bellur Cross, Kunigal and Nelamangala before reaching Bengaluru.
