Mysore/Mysuru: The COVID-19 State Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has restricted the crowd to 200 atop Chamundi Hill for inauguration of Dasara-2020 and 300 for Jumboo Savari procession in Palace premises but it does not seem to have any bearing on the devotees visiting the Hill temple on normal days as they were found moving freely without any safety measure.
COVID-19 guidelines were ignored at Chamundi Hill on Friday as hundreds of devotees were seen without face masks, wearing face masks incorrectly and not maintaining social distance. There was no sign of social distancing as visitors stood in groups around the Temple premises forgetting the fact that Mysuru has been reporting highest number of Corona positive cases and casualties in the State only after Bengaluru city.
