Mysore/Mysuru: A crater that has developed on the main road of Janatha Nagar in T.K. Layout in city has been lurking danger. As Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) officials failed to take notice, the concerned locals have placed a dried coconut frond near the gap, to prevent any mishap.

It is alleged that, 15 days have passed since the crater emerged on the road near a petrol bunk adjacent to Taralabalu Educational Institutions, neither of the officials have visited the spot, at least in the interest of road users.

The Janatha Nagar main road is one of the busiest road stretches in city, with the educational institutions, residential areas and commercial establishments located nearby.

School vans and autorickshaws ferrying school children form chock-a-block.

With a petrol bunk situated nearby, the number of vehicles arriving to tank up, add to the already busy traffic density. Any pressure on the crater, may lead to caving-in of the road.

The two-wheeler riders and pedestrians are more vulnerable, but whom to ask, question the concerned public.

The absence of Corporators, due to the prolonged delay in Local Body elections, is the reason, whey the issue remains unaddressed, said a public, who warned of staging a protest.
