Yadavagiri Footpath Destroyed

The Yadavagiri-Bamboo Bazaar Road (Brahmarshi Narayana Guru Road) is part of the Inner Ring Road even though it is quite narrow. The vehicle density on the road is quite high. There are signs which say that heavy vehicles are prohibited, but this restriction is not being enforced. In addition, the road is quite steep and it is a miracle that accidents do not happen more often on this road.

There are no footpaths on the road except on one side of the short stretch in front of Sunanda School. This makes the plight of pedestrians pitiable. Especially since children going to 4-5 schools use the road and there are 3 hostels including one for blind students.

Now someone has dumped debris on the only useful footpath on this road rendering it unusable (See photo). Since some effort has been made to spread the debris, it is possible that MCC itself has dumped the debris here.

Whoever has dumped the debris must have a sadistic bent of mind because they have destroyed the last vestige of a useful footpath on this road. Now God help the children and the blind students.
