Mysuru: Not taking initiatives to their logistical conclusion seems to have transform the bane of the civic companies in the city. As was once the case with the straightening of the Hunsur Road stretch, plans for that have been altered at alarming frequencies sooner than it was once due to this fact finished, the mission to widen the stretch of Bogadi-Gaddige Road between Manasagothri, the University of Mysore (UOM) postgraduate campus, and the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH), has been striking hearth after the first phase of the mission was once finished.
While the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has finished widening the road into a four-lane boulevard till the UoM’s postgraduate campus, the stretch between Manasagangothri and AIISH has been dug up, making shuttle on it a treacherous exercise. What is worse, the loss of streetlights along this stretch makes it doubly bad to shuttle at night.
Work on the highway commenced in opposition to the top of October final 12 months. The highway from Manasagangothri to AIISH lies in a shambles largely for the reason that huge mounds of mud which have been dumped on one side, which tower next to trench which have been left open. Motorists and other highway customers are none too proud of the MCC for its failure to go away the task unfinished, and exposing them to risk.
Although MCC erected boards denoting ‘paintings in growth’ and advising motorists to be wary while travelling, voters point out that those boards are not of a lot use while travelling at night. The civic company’s determination to shift the electrical energy poles owing to paintings on the highway has further aggravated the location. Consequently, the stretch from the AIISH campus to the Regional institute of Education (RIE) junction has was a risk zone.
Repeated entreaties from AIISH officers to the civic companies to put in streetlights close to the campus have been to no avail. Students at Manasagangothri, Sri Jaychamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE) and AIISH are among those adversely suffering from the pitiable situation of the stretch.
Pavan Kumar, a postgraduate pupil at UoM, recalled, with visible horror, how he escaped tumbling into the trench through a whisker. “The highway is surrounded through many educational establishments and the civic companies should be doubly careful to make sure there is not any scope for injuries. Boards want to be put caution us of the dangers, and a retaining wall should be built,” he advised TOI.
Ramesh, 61, a resident of Martikyatanahalli in Bogadi, rued the time beyond regulation he was once forced to spend travelling again home as a result of the pathetic situation of the road. “I have to be very careful while the use of this highway, and it eats up a large number of my time. There are no sign boards after the Manasagangothri campus, and the road has been dug up in a shoddy means,” he stated.
MCC commissioner KH Jagadeesh advised TOI, “Work on the mission has been not on time owing to the demolition, and next reconstruction of a wall between Manasagangothri and the RIE junction. The contractors answerable for executing the mission should position sign boards, and take essential precautions sooner than digging up the roads. MCC will direct them to do the requisite, and will be sure that such incidents do not recur.”
