Mysuru: Cyclothon, a bicycle race organised jointly by the Dasara Sports Sub-Committee and the Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports as part of Dasara celebrations, was flagged off in city this morning.
As rain wrecked havoc in city since last evening till early morning today, a technical team inspected the race route resulting in delayed start of the race. It was only after the technical team gave a green signal, the race (both men and women) was flagged off from Chamundi Vihar Stadium by IGP (Southern Range) Vipul Kumar in the presence of ADC T. Yogesh, SP Ravi D. Chennannavar, KSRP Commandant Raghunath, CESC GM Satish Kumar, Sports Dept. Joint Director K.L.
