Mysore/Mysuru: Reacting to the High Court order, one of the petitioners in the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) Raja Chandra, who is the son-in-law of Maharaja Jayachamaraja Wadiyar, told Star of Mysore that this is not the end but a beginning of a long struggle to save Devaraja Market, the ‘Soul of Mysore.’
“Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and the political leaders must realise that demolition is not the only solution. The civic body has not done any sincere attempts to restore or at least study the Devaraja Market. What has the MCC dome to maintain the Devaraja Market all these years before one of the portions collapsed? Apart from depending on a committee report that has recommended demolition, the MCC has done nothing,” he said.
