Mysore/Mysuru: The Kalyana Mantapa (Community Hall) built by the City Improvement Trust Board (CITB) and the Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar Convention Hall constructed by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) — recently rebranded as Mysuru Development Authority (MDA) — at Hebbal have both fallen into disuse, turning what was envisioned as a public-friendly infrastructure into neglected and wasted assets.
Former Corporator K.V. Sridhar has strongly criticised the authorities for allowing the halls to deteriorate into their current decrepit state. “These facilities were intended to benefit poor and middle-class families by providing affordable venues for family functions. Instead, they have been reduced to empty shells that serve no public purpose,” he said.
