Mysore/Mysuru: Mahisha Utsava and Dhamma Deeksha Day programme was conducted peacefully at Town Hall premises in the city this morning, amid heavy Police security, who had turned the place into a virtual fortress.
Following the denial of permission by City Police Commissioner Ramesh Banoth to conduct Mahisha Dasara atop Chamundi Hill by offering floral tributes to the statue of Mahishasura and promulgation of prohibitory orders under section 144 CrPC effective from yesterday midnight till 6 am tomorrow, President of Mahisha Dasara Celebration Committee and former Mayor Purushotham had submitted a memorandum to Police Commissioner seeking permission to organise Mahisha Dasara and Dhamma Deeksha along with the garlanding of statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar at Town Hall premises.
