This is the railway overpass road that connects S D Jayaram circle from Pete Beedhi. This road is also used by vehicle users when the railway gates at Factory Circle or Mahaveera Circle are closed when the train runs through the route.
As the road is an railway overpass, it is expected to be of good quality. But, it is quite a shocker to road users. The whole stretch of road is ridden with potholes and even the parapet walls have collapsed.
Dangerous
If vehicle users lose concentration a casualty is sure to occur.This road is the only route for bullock carts transporting sugar cane to Mysugar factory, for private buses bound for Nagamangala and hundreds of other vehicles. Elected representatives and other netas who visit Mysugar factory also ply on this road, but they have turned a blind eye to the problem.
Shirking responsibility
Though the road comes under the public works department, it has not shown any interest over taking up repair works.
The City Municipal Council has washed off its hands saying that it does not come under its purview.
CMC president M P Arun Kumar said the road comes under PWD, so he has asked the PWD to take necessary steps at the earliest.
The issue was brought to the notice of Dayanand, who was AEE earlier. He had assured to take up repair works. As he was transferred, it has been brought to the notice of the new official, he explained.
