Mysore/Mysuru: The Forest Department has stalled illegal works of laying interlock tiles and kerb (border) stones atop Chamundi Hill and an FIR has been filed against the violators. A private religious organisation from Coimbatore had resorted to laying interlock tiles and borders on a road near the Nandi Statue.
The road leads to a rock called “Sadhguru Point” where the spiritual guru Jaggi Vasudev reportedly got ‘enlightened’. The works were underway for the last three to four days and no permission was sought from the Forest Department as the Chamundi Hill comes under its jurisdiction. Last evening, a few environmentalists alerted the Department about the concretisation of the path and this morning, a team led by RFO Dhanyashree and DRFO Satish Kumar asked the contractor to stop the works immediately.
