Mysuru: Following the State Government’s decision to celebrate Dasara in a grand and tourist-centric manner this year, the District Administration has decided to treat the tourists with an Air Show and a parade by Indian Armed Forces. A wide variety of programmes are being planned to make the festival a memorable one and at the same time draw international and national tourists for the grand spectacle.
Briefing reporters after a closed-door Dasara meeting with authorities of various departments at his office yesterday afternoon, Deputy Commissioner Abhiram G. Sankar said that District Administration has written to the Air Force, Army and Navy Chiefs, requesting their participation in the festival to be held from October 10 to 19. “We have written the letters two weeks ago and are waiting for a response,” he said.
