Mandya: The District Administration’s decision to divert traffic from Mandya on the ever-busy Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway, caused severe inconvenience and a lot of hardship to thousands of commuters.

As Nikhil Kumaraswamy was scheduled to file his nomination in a huge road show, the authorities had diverted traffic on Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway passing through Mandya, from 9 am to 4 pm.

Accordingly, the vehicles coming from Bengaluru side were diverted at Maddur itself and were asked to take Malavalli route to reach Mysuru and other places.

Likewise, vehicles proceeding towards Bengaluru from Mysuru, were diverted on the outskirts of Mandya and were asked to take Bannur Road to travel further.

This traffic diversion irked commuters, who were shocked to learn that traffic was diverted due to Nikhil Kumaraswamy’s filing of nomination. The commuters, who were totally unaware of the diversion, were seen cursing the authorities for the severe inconvenience and hardship that they had to face.
