Mysore/Mysuru: Chamundi Hill, a prominent spot for religious tourism in the city, wore a deserted look this morning, following the prohibitory orders issued by the City Police under Section 144 CrPC effective from yesterday midnight till 6 am tomorrow (Oct. 14).
Following the defiance of Mahisha Dasara Celebration Committee to celebrate Mahisha Dasara atop the hill (that was later restricted to Town Hall with the organisers acceding to celebrate the event in the changed name of Mahisha Utsava) by offering floral tributes to the statue of Mahishasura atop Chamundi Hill and Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha’s call for ‘Chamundi Betta Chalo’ in protest against Mahisha Dasara, despite denial of permission for both the events, City Police Commissioner Ramesh Banoth had promulgated prohibitory orders yesterday afternoon, in the Police Commissionerate limits including Chamundi Hill and Mahishasura statue area.
