Mysuru: Despite Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) issuing a strict warning to people not to climb on heritage and old structures to witness Jamboo Savari, people could be seen on many such buildings along the Raja Marga, the route of the procession yesterday. Concerned by the dilapidated state of buildings along the Jumboo Savari route, the MCC Commissioner had issued a directive to people not to climb the heritage structures on Sayyaji Rao Road on the day of the procession.
This order applied to both government and private buildings and it stated that at no point, people will be allowed to climb the structures, especially during the time of the procession. The order was issued under Karnataka Municipality Act 1976 Sections 322 (1) and 3. Police were seen trying to convince people to get down from the buildings. Besides, people also climbed on to trees to get a glimpse of the Jamboo Savari. People were seen even on the dilapidated and partially collapsed Devaraja Market building.
