Mysuru: With 83rd Kannada Sahitya Sammelana being celebrated in city with a lot of fanfare, it is sad to see District Kannada Sahitya Bhavana at Vijayanagar First Stage lying in a state of total neglect and crying for attention. The Bhavana was inaugurated with a lot of pomp in Sept. 2004 by the then Deputy Chief Minister Siddharamaiah (CM now) under a programme titled ‘Mysore Habba’. The building, with a huge hall to accommodate over 400 people and other auxiliary facilities, now lies in a dilapidated state with broken window panes and no fresh coat of paint ever since it was opened.
