The pathetic condition of roads in many parts of the city appears to have given the new Mayor of Mysuru a clear cut task to execute.
A day after his photographs doing the city rounds on a two-wheeler to inspect the condition of roads went viral, Mr. Shivakumar had to face a barrage of complaints from the citizens on the potholes and deplorable condition of roads in several parts of the city during a phone-in programme organised by a local Kannada daily Andolana.
While a resident of Gandhinagar in the city said that condition of the road near Five-Lights Circle was pathetic, making it difficult for buses, cars and other vehicles to use the stretch coming from Suburban bus stand, another resident said he was fed up with making repeated complaints about the poor condition of the stretch of Malai Mahadeshwara Road from Nazarbad police station to Mysuru Milk Dairy.
