Sir,

Why should new industries come to Mysuru when the old ones are leaving?

The Hebbal Industrial Area has slowly started to look like a village. In some places, one can even see bullock carts being used for transport.

Many areas have become accident-prone due to badly damaged roads. Because of this poor infrastructure, several industries are now deciding to move away from Mysuru.

For many years, I have personally witnessed the condition of these roads and people are completely fed up.

The condition is especially bad on the following roads: Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited Road; Railway Crossing to Ring Road near JK Tyre and Industries; Truck Radial Plant-2 Road; RPG Tele Cable Road, where all the cracker shops are located. All these roads are in extremely poor condition and need immediate attention.

I request the authorities concerned to ensure that Mysuru is properly developed with good infrastructure so that existing industries stay and new industries are encouraged to invest in our city. Mysuru should grow as a clean, safe and well-developed industrial city.
