Recently there was an item in the newspapers criticizing the new pedestrian crossing-cum-road humps which are being installed all over Mysore. One of the criticisms was that many of these crossings are not at all provided with drainage channels and the channels that are provided are inadequate. It was predicted that when the rainy season begins, pools of water will collect behind these humps and cause total nuisance to drivers and pedestrians alike. This prediction has come true.
Photos of three such crossings taken after today's rains can be seen above.
