Crux of issue is choice of roads for repair work
Mayor Sunanda Palanethra has expressed concern that ₹25 crore released as a grant under Special Finance Commission to the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) could lapse in case there was no cooperation from the elected representatives.
The Mayor appeared besieged and cornered with no support even from her own party (BJP) many of whom have sought a revision of the works.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
