The bypass road of the Mysuru-Bengaluru 10-lane expressway from Induvalu village to Amaravathi hotel opened for the public three days.
As a result, the highway passing through Mandya city is wearing a deserted look. Most importantly, hotels that were dependent on passengers who were stopping by are facing losses to the tune of 80 per cent.
Vehicular density has reduced drastically on the highway and junctions in Mandya city like Kallahalli Circle, Court Circle, Sanjay Circle and Factory Circle now wear a deserted look.
As 70 per cent of the vehicles now ply via the bypass, business activities on the highway have been hit.
