Mysore/Mysuru: Claiming that most of the roads in N.R. Constituency of the city had turned into bad shape due to incessant rains that has been lashing the city for the past several days, activists of SDPI (Social Democratic Party of India) staged a demonstration in front of the MCC Office here on Thursday, demanding immediate action for repair of roads.

Contending that apart from the poor condition of roads, the Constituency is dotted with heaps of garbage, wastes  and debris, they maintained that uncleared garbage posed a serious health hazard for residents of the locality. Maintaining that dumped wastes are getting rotten with heavy showers continuing to lash  the city, the protestors said that heaps of garbage have become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and flies which has triggered a fear of outbreak of epidemic diseases.

Accusing the MCC health authorities of utter negligence and apathy, the protestors urged the officials to act swiftly to address health, garbage and civic amenities issues of N.R. Constituency at the earliest.  SDPI State President Abdul Majid, office-bearers Devanur Puttananjaiah, Rafath Khan, S. Swami, Amjad Khan, Nooruddin, Mohammad Shafiullah and others were present.
