Despite interventions, neither MUDA nor MCC wants to take responsibility of the maintenance of streetlights
Non-functional streetlights have made the 42-km-long six-lane Outer Ring Road (ORR) unsafe for motorists and the residents of localities abutting the busy carriageway as neither the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) nor the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) is doing anything to fix the problem that has been persisting since the time the six-lane road was constructed.
Surprisingly, the streetlights are made to glow only when Mysuru hosts the annual Dasara festivities but are turned off once the celebrations get over. Despite repeated complaints from the public and also directions to the officials from the Ministers who were in charge of Mysuru district, the problem doesn’t seem to be getting serious attention, making the stretch dangerous at night.

The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
