New Delhi: Kannadigas and the people from State who often visit New Delhi have urged the State Government to retain the 50-year-old Mysore House, popularly called Karnataka Bhavan and also known as Cauvery Bhavan (as it was renamed), in the posh Chanakyapuri (Kautilya Marg) locality in New Delhi as a Memorial instead of demolishing the main building and constructing a new one in the same place.
The Government has made all preparations to pull down the main building portion of Mysore House and construct a swanky building. According to officials from Public Works Department (PWD) that is entrusted with maintaining the structure, the demolition of the main portion of the building was necessitated as the structure is dilapidated and needs urgent repairs.
