Mysuru: District Administration claims to be busy beautifying the city for Dasara but the public is sore over the hasty and hotchpotch work on roads and pavements across the city, draining tax-payers money with poor workmanship.
The city is always cursed with hasty last minute works for Dasara like filling of potholes and asphalting roads, all done in a shabby way drawing the ire of citizens.
Laying tiles on the footpath of New Sayyaji Rao Road – the Jumboo Savari route.
Surprisingly, road-widening works and pipe-laying works are taken up during rainy season and left incomplete for reasons best known to the MCC. Roads are dug for laying cables or pipes and covered only with mud and never re-asphalted. The whole road gets muddy when it rains and the trenches open up inviting accidents.
Tens of Sub-Committees are constituted for Dasara every year and none of them is interested in infrastructure of city and everyone is busy discussing on Dasara elephants, Torchlight Parade and other programmes leaving the city to have perennial and eternal civic problems.

The condition of roads in extensions is pitiable as the so called Dasara preparation is always focussed on the central hub of the city.
The Ward Corporators express helplessness on the whole issue and residents are wondering as to whom to blame for the malady.

‘Raja Marga’ going on for years at snail’s pace has become an eyesore with hawkers flooding the pavements. Concreting of other roads have been completed leaving the footpaths which are being hastily tiled in a shabby way leaving a huge amount of excavated mud here and there.
The list goes on and the ugliness of the ‘Swachh City’ is very obvious, opine the residents.
