The 12th Cross of the 30 ft. Road in Vijayanagar 1st Stage has shrunk to about 5 ft. due to overgrown bushes, shrubs and weeds on either sides of the road. This is causing a lot of problems to the residents, who say that they are afraid to venture on the road after dark due to fear of reptiles and huge rodents which have made the bushy area their home. Authorities concerned are urged to take steps to get the weeds cleared at the earliest.
