CITY DRENCHES IN FIRST ASHADA RAIN

Mysore, July 15 (RK&KMC)- The city witnessed heavy rainfall last evening, the first of this Ashada season. The skies were dark with overhanging clouds since the morning itself and true to the Meteorological Department’s forecast, it did not rain but poured all over the city and surroundings, halting the day to day activities for a couple of hours.

Rain-water flooded the roads and the storm water drains overflowed, forcing motorists, especially two-wheeler riders to wait for the gushing waters to recede, though the rain had stopped an hour ago.

The rain that came during the peak hour made it difficult for the students on their way home from schools and colleges and also those returning from work.

Many low-lying areas of the city were inundated, with water gushing into huts in the slum areas. Rain-water had also collected in the Devaraja, Krishnaraja and Mandi Mohalla markets, disrupting trade activities. It was the same scenario at RMC and APMC yards too. Electricity supply was cut off for nearly an hour.

Though rain poured incessantly, there was no strong wind blowing and hence no instance of fallen trees, branches or electricity poles were reported in city.

Highest

The city recorded 50.10 mm rainfall yesterday. Total rainfall in the city since January 1, 2011 till date is 402.2 mm. Last year it was 464.4 mm by this date.

Forecast

According to Met Dept, rains are likely to occur in the next three days too.

REPAIR OF S'PURAM UNDERBRIDGE ROAD: TRAFFIC BANNED FOR 10 DAYS

Mysore, July 18 (KCU)- The Mysore City Corporation authorities have at last woken up to get the road under the bridge at Saraswathipuram in front of Fire Brigade repaired as it was frequently getting inundated during rains inconveniencing the motorists.

The road from Ekalavya Circle (near Maharaja's College Hostel) to Fire Brigade had innumerable potholes and craters forming cesspools and the gradient from either side was aiding inundation. Vehicle riders, especially on two-wheelers, had to do a herculean task to wade through knee-deep water.

Explaining the repairing process to the media, Zone 3 Assistant Commissioner Govindappa said "the underbridge was constructed by the Railways. The water drain channels have got clogged with accumulation of leaves and dust. MCC has taken up the work at a cost of Rs. 2 lakh and will allow free flow of accumulated water under the bridge."

Continuing, Govindappa said "owing to frequent inundation and heavy traffic flow, the concrete stretch of the road was badly damaged. Now it will be re-done with fresh concrete with iron re-inforcement and the surface will be raised by two inches. The vehicular traffic on the road will be banned for 10 days to facilitate the repair work and later re-opened."

Mayor Pushpalatha Chik-kanna, area Corporator Ninganna and other inspected the repair work yesterday.

Poor lighting

Meanwhile, the residents of the area have requested the MCC to improve the lighting on the road as only two bulbs have been functioning leaving the stretch of road dark and unsafe at night.

FOOTPATH ENCROACHMENTS VACATED

200 shops found guilty on Mahadevapura Road

Mysore, July 19 (KCU&KK)- Mysore City Corporation (MCC) authorities, resuming the demolition drive of encroachments, brought down protruding signboards and projections, violating building laws, of about 100 shops each on either side of a stretch of about 1 km on Mahadevapura Road near Udayagiri Police Station here this morning.

Most of the projections had encroached upon the footpaths which were demolished in the operation using an excavator assisted by two tippers, 4 Dhanush teams and several gang-men which commenced at 6 am.

Possibly aware of their follies substantiated further by notices of MCC, most of the shopkeepers voluntarily got the projections dismantled to prevent dama- ges. The operation was supervised by Zone-9 Assistant Commissioner Mahesh. Udayagiri Police Inspector Mathews and Sub-Inspector Srikanth had provided adequate security to thwart any eventuality.

Further demolitions

Speaking to Star of Mysore, Mahesh said "a survey has been done on several roads in Udayagiri, Kyathamaranahalli and nearby areas and 150 buildings and shops have been identified for violating norms and encroaching upon footpaths. Notices have been served to the offenders and the encroachments are being verified. Within 15 days, the encroachments will be demolished."
