Sir,

Suddenly today, road resurfacing work began on 5th Main, V.V. Mohalla. The road was in perfectly good condition with no potholes, yet the entire stretch is being resurfaced. When I asked the workers who the responsible engineer was, they had no idea.

Last week, the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) resurfaced a large portion of 1st Main Road from a few metres from V.V. Puram Police Station in V.V. Mohalla to the Nirmala Convent gate.

Within just a few days, the resurfaced road started peeling off, causing multiple two-wheelers to skid when applying brakes. The road has become hazardous, especially at night, and more accidents are likely to occur if it is not repaired immediately.

I cannot understand why the MCC does not conduct a scientific survey of the roads and allocate their limited resources to repair the many other roads that are in dire need of attention.
