Huge tree uprooted at Chamundi Hill

Mysore/Mysuru: A huge tree got uprooted and fell across the road at Chamundi Hill disrupting traffic for more than an hour yesterday evening.

At about 4 pm yesterday, the huge tree, which stood tall near Tavarekatte on the way to the hill top, came crashing down. Luckily, no loss of life or damage to properties took place.

MCC’s Abhaya team members, who rushed to the spot, cleared the fallen tree and made way for smooth flow of traffic.

Meanwhile, residents of the hill said that there were many weak trees on the road leading to the top of the hill, which may fall due to gusty winds.

They have urged the authorities concerned to inspect weak trees on the route and take steps to prevent such incidents in future.
