Mysore/Mysuru: Honouring the Forest Department’s request to illuminate the Jumboo Savari route from the Mysore Palace to the Bannimantap Torchlight Parade Grounds five days in advance, the Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) has decided to fully illuminate the route from Sept. 23.
This is to acclimatise Dasara elephants with illumination set up so that they do not panic on Vijayadashami Day, seeing bright lights. At a meeting held in the Deputy Commissioner’s Office this morning, CESC Managing Director Jayavibhavaswamy told reporters that this time, 124-km around the city will be illuminated.
