Mysuru: Entry of visitors to Brindavan Gardens at Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam has been banned and tourist entry to the Dam and its downstream near Srirangapatna in Mandya District has been restricted from yesterday, in spite of tourists coming in thousands to witness the spectacular sight of water gushing out of the many crest gates of the Dam that have been opened. The musical fountain has been discontinued until further notice and it will be restored only after the water level recedes.
While there is a complete ban on tourist entry into Brindavan Gardens, visitors are barred from entering via the North Gate of the KRS (from the old entrance to Brindavan Gardens). Visitors are only allowed to view the water discharge by standing along the railings near the water department office.
