Sir,

There is an urgent need for guardrails along the curved stretch of the Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway between St. Philomena’s College and the Kempegowda Circle (Manipal Hospital Signal Junction).

This particular stretch has become an accident-prone zone. If a vehicle loses control while navigating the curve, it risks plunging into a deep, open drainage alongside the road, which could result in fatal consequences.

The danger is significantly heightened at night, especially during power cuts, as the curve is not clearly visible to approaching drivers.

I request that the authorities concerned address this matter at the earliest. I also urge the Mysuru City Traffic Police to take immediate action and install guardrails along this curved stretch to prevent potential accidents.

Given that this road is connected to the Highway and accommodates thousands of vehicles daily, ensuring proper safety measures is essential for protecting commuters and preventing avoidable tragedies.
