Nearly 1km-long, but Nelson Mandela Road has just six streetlights

Mysore | Friday | 17th August, 2018

Summary:

It is not just Nelson Mandela Road, even Mirza Road where the Police commissioner’s office located suffers from the same problem. Mysuru: It appears as though the saga of dysfunctional, and very few streetlights, in the ‘Heritage City’ will only continue. Named after the leader who fought for the abolition of apartheid in South Africa, Nelson Mandelathe road is tread on by the elephants during the Dasara procession. The Twitter handle @MysuruInfrastructure asks MCC whether it had time to look into the issue, while another user of the microblogging site, @MysuruCivicIssues pointed out streetlights on the road was a longstanding request from citizens. These users have tagged elected representatives, besides the commissioners of police and MCC in their tweets..
