Taking strong exception to the Opposition against the proposed flyover projects in Mysuru, KPCC spokesperson M. Lakshman on Sunday clarified that the flyovers on Vinoba and J.L.B. Roads, along with underpasses have been planned to ease rising traffic congestions. He asserted that the government is determined to go ahead with the works despite objections raised by the BJP.

Mr. Lakshman was reacting to MP for Mysuru Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar’s remarks that the road stretches in question carried heritage value and that he would consider legal options if the proposals were pursued.
