Continued neglect affecting industrial productivity

Sir,

This is to draw the attention of the authorities to the extremely poor condition of roads in Hebbal Industrial Area, Mysuru.

Despite being a key hub for industries, logistics movement and employment, the internal and approach roads are severely damaged with large potholes, uneven surfaces and poor drainage.

Due to the bad road conditions, the daily movement of heavy vehicles, employees, suppliers and emergency services has become very difficult and unsafe. There have been frequent traffic jams, vehicle breakdowns and near-miss accidents. During the monsoon season, the situation worsens as roads get flooded, making them almost unusable.

Several requests and complaints have already been made to the concerned local authorities, but unfortunately, no concrete action has been taken so far. The continued neglect is affecting industrial productivity, worker safety and overall development of the area.

We request the authorities concerned to visit the location, take immediate repair works and ensure safer roads and better infrastructure for the industrial community and the general public.
