Mysuru: MLC K. Vivekananda has urged the Government to take immediate measures for rejuvenation of ancient Kalyanis (water bodies), which are in poor condition with no maintenance at Chandravana Medicinal Plants Nursery near the Swimming Pool at Saraswathipuram in the city.
In a letter written to Health Minister Dinesh Gundurao, Vivekananda said that the Chandravana Nursery, which was set up by the erstwhile Mysore Maharajas is now under the custody of Government Ayurveda Medical College. The Nursery is a breeding centre for rare species of many medicinal and horticultural plants. It also has two Kalyanis which feed water to these plants. But now, these Kalyanis are in a deplorable state and there is an urgent need for their rejuvenation, he said.
