The work on the construction of Railway Under Bridges (RUBs) on the six-lane Outer Ring Road (ORR) in Mysuru, which has been delayed in spite of the completion of the road work many years ago, may get much-needed attention as the construction estimates of the four RUBs has been submitted to the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Mysuru MP Pratap Simha has sought Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari’s approval for the immediate construction of the RUBs, arguing that the work would ease smooth movement of traffic on the busy carriageway. The 41.535-km long ORR was converted into six-lane road with service roads. It was declared National Highway 275K by the Ministry in 2018.The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
