Mysuru: Due to alleged extreme security measures and checks, empty chairs greeted the dignitaries as Nadoja Dr. Hampana (Ham.Pa. Nagarajaiah) inaugurated the 10-day Dasara-2024 festivities atop Chamundi Hill here this morning in the presence of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, other Cabinet Ministers and a host of Legislators and other people representatives.
Though the District Administration had made seating arrangements for about 1,000 people by putting chairs in rows in front the dais, there were hardly a few people present for the inauguration, probably because of the strict measures of the District Administration in allowing local people to attend the event.
