Mysuru: Even as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah issued directions to the officials to demolish and rebuild the century-old dilapidated Devaraja Market and Lansdowne Building after clearing all legal disputes, traders and shop tenants have strongly advocated for the preservation of the heritage buildings, emphasising repair over demolition.
Recently, Siddaramaiah convened a meeting with Mysuru region elected representatives and officials in Bengaluru, directing them to resolve pending legal issues concerning these structures. He instructed that the buildings should either be preserved or, if demolished, rebuilt in their original architectural style.
