Summary:
Mysuru: Barricades used as medians are turning out to add to the problem they are meant to solve, by turning out to be hindrances to free movement of vehicles rather than easing it. The barricades have not been nailed to the road, or interlocked with one another, as was the case earlier. In an effort to ensure that the barricades are aligned as a single unit, police have connected them using threads, which can be easily removed. “Yes, some of the barricades are also worn out. I have submitted a proposal to the MCC to install steel barricades along the Dasara procession route,” Nandagavi said.Meanwhile, another police official said that technology had improved and barricades could now be fixed on concrete roads..
