Make city roads pothole-free

May 18, 2023

Mysore/Mysuru: The citizens of Mysuru are lamenting that the city of Palaces has been turned into a city of bad roads and potholes as the officials concerned are lethargic to complete the works already started and to fill the potholes. The bad conditions of the roads in some parts of the city has made commuting dangerous, complain the motorists.

Majority of the city roads are full of potholes and with the onset of monsoon, the potholes  will be filled with rain water causing hardships to commuters which may result in accidents.

Many roads dug up to lay  underground drainage and drinking water pipes are partly filled with mud and construction debris. Such spots have been exposed following recent rains, lament the public. The stretch from Kuvempunagar KSRTC Depot to Kuvempunagar Complex is dotted with potholes and has become a nightmare to riders.

The roads in extensions like Bannimantap (Jodi Tenginamara Road), Udayagiri, Shanthinagar and others which connect  Mahadevapura Road also have a lot of potholes and the residents complain that despite repeated complaints to the officials concerned, nothing has been done.

The roads in Vidyaranyapuram are no exception.“The roads dug up for works are partly filled with mud. Even after months, the roads have not been asphalted, which has made commuting dangerous,” says a resident.

Same situation prevails on the road near Deaf and Dumb School in Tilaknagar. Though the UGD works were completed months ago, the follow up action is not taken up and the road has become non motorable, says a resident.

 The aggrieved citizens have urged the officials concerned to complete the works immediately and make city roads pothole-free.

    This shows what a third world dump this city in India is.
    Contractors will repair these potholes using inferior quality material- no material in India is of good quality anyway, so that they are asked to come back again to repair. They bribe the officials to do so!

    By and large the city of Mysore has good roads, compared to Bangalore. But the plethora of potholes, especially at important junctions need Urgent repair. Bogadi road ORR junction and road under Hunsur flyover have been terrible for months. Are those in authority blind?

    Hey @Pinto
    Goa had excellen infrastructure with very good t roads under the Portuguese rule. We had clean administration in every district.
    After, Indua took over, in early 1960s , the infrastructure has totally collapased because of corrupt administration at every level.
    It appears that you are not even marginally bright, to understand the kind of traffic Bangalore has and the number of residents greater Bangalore has as compared to Mysore.
