When will the street lights on Outer Ring Road start working?

Police Department to write to MUDA, MCC

Even as the issue of non-functional street lights on the 42-km long Outer Ring Road remains unaddressed since many years with neither the MUDA nor the MCC ready for a remedy, the Mysuru City Police is planning to write to both the local bodies again to resolve the issue and make street lights work. As of now, the entire road stretch is being blacktopped under a special grant from the Centre. The trash-filled service roads of the ORR had been cleaned in a major one-time operation recently to facilitate asphalting of the road. The non-functional lights make ORR unsafe after duskwith poor visibility and many vehicles parked on the service roads violating the rules. It becomes risky for the residents of layouts abutting ORR to use the service roads that are isolated and unsafe without proper illumination. Commissioner of Police Chandragupta said: “After I took over in Mysuru, the first letter I wrote was to the Commissioner of MCC to take steps for making the street lights work.”
