Activists decry growing anthropogenic pressure on the area
A stretch of road at Chamundi Hills leading to the Nandi statue caved in following the heavy rain that lashed Mysuru through Wednesday night and early hours of Thursday.
As a result vehicles and tourists have been barred from proceeding towards the Nandi statue from the view point junction and the district in-charge Mminister S.T. Somashekar has directed the authorities to take up the repair works on a priority basis. However, the road to the temple is not affected.
PWD Minister C.C. Patil has also instructed the department engineers and officials to visit the spot and submit a technical report. Engineers have been directed to assess the ground situation and identify other road stretches that could cave in due to the soil condition
