Mysore/Mysuru: Folk artistes who take part in Dasara procession have demanded a hike in remuneration from Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 5,000.
Addressing a press meet here recently, Mysuru-Chamarajanagar-Mandya District Folk Artistes Association President L. Mahadevappa said that Rs. 1,500 being given currently for Dasara folk artistes is too less and as such, the authorities must hike the remuneration to Rs. 5,000. Maintaining that folk artistes are ignored once the procession reaches Bannimantap, he urged the District Administration to give due recognition to the artistes.
