Road works are going on all over Mysore. But much of it is being done in an unprofessional manner. This trench left open near the suburban bus stand is a danger to both pedestrians and vehicles

This footpath has been left unfinished for several months now. Water and trash are collecting in the depression left by the unfinished work and are causing a nuisance.

Several crores of rupees were spent to remodel the city bus stand under JNNURM funds. But they have left the slush, the garbage and the public urinals untouched.

Several modern facilities have been provided at the KSRTC bus stand in the JNNURM project. This cold water dispenser is one of them. Bt unfortunately, it has never worked.
