Mysore/Mysuru: The citizens of Mysuru have persistently advocated for the establishment of the Chamundi Hill Development Authority, aiming to set clear guidelines and ensure strict adherence to them. They voiced their opposition to development plans that prioritise turning Chamundi Hill into a tourist destination by allowing construction of buildings and roads across the hill endangering its fragile geography which has seen many landslides.
Instead, they emphasised structural activities that focus on preserving the natural environment of the Hill. Building on this sentiment and following extensive discussions involving various experts, representatives, and eminent citizens of Mysuru, the ‘Draft Bill for Sri Chamundeshwari Kshethra Abhivruddhi Pradhikara-2022’ was crafted and presented to the then CM Basavaraj Bommai.
