Mysuru: A four-member expert committee from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee visited the Lansdowne Building and Devaraja Market this morning to conduct a structural assessment and prepare a report for submission to the Supreme Court.
On Sept. 2, the Supreme Court directed IIT Roorkee to carry out a fresh evaluation of the two 19th-century heritage structures. The directive came while hearing a Special Leave Petition (SLP) challenging the Karnataka Government’s decision to demolish and reconstruct both buildings, retaining only their facades.
