Mysore/Mysuru: Call it inordinate delay or procrastination, the decision to restore or demolish the nearly 120-year-old heritage structures — Devaraja Market and Lansdowne building — in the heart of the city is back in focus again and this time it is before S.T. Somashekar, who assumed charge as the new Mysuru District Minister over a month ago.
At a review meeting held on the development works of Chamaraja Constituency at Zilla Panchayat Hall in city yesterday, MLA L. Nagendra urged the Minister to get funds from the Government to demolish the dilapidated Devaraja Market and the Lansdowne Building and rebuild them in a traditional way keeping in mind all the heritage aesthetics.
