Even as rain pounds the city and roads are damaged, it is a heartening sight to see that the District Administration is gearing up for Dasara at least by giving a fresh coat of paint to the medians in important roads of the city. Workers in deep concentration are seen painting the median strip on Hunsur Road near Paduvarahalli (Vinayakanagar). Picture right shows the painters on Chamundi Hill Road painting the dividers this morning.
