    Can the mayor and the so called “area corpotator” prashanth take up responsiblity and visit the road behind lansdowne building.?? The road is an open toilet, not been asphalted for about 15years. Making it totally unconvinient for motorista and pedestrians especially wome and college students who come for their respective shoppings . Repeated requests to corporators, health officers, has failed to see an sign of goodness. Urine river flows and its terrible foul smell had once surprised the team who came only to renew the corporation lice ce of traders. Star of mysore has also put the photos of the jinx lane quite a few number of times on its whatsapp coloumn but this has failed to impact on the people who are in power.
