Sir, The picture alongside here of an electric pole was taken on Mutt Road (near Bank of Maharashtra), 1st Block, Jayalakshmipuram, Mysuru.

Sir, Mysuru is celebrating Dasara and most of the city roads are being improved by filling of potholes and with patch works but ironically at the CFTRI Layout, where most of the retired scientists from CFTRI are residing, the road is dug up to lay UGD pipes.
