Mysore/Mysuru: New Chief Secretary (CS) of State P. Ravi Kumar, who took over from T.M. Vijayabhaskar upon his retirement on Dec.31, 2020, visited the famed Chamundeshwari Temple atop Chamundi hill here this morning along with his family members.
Ravi Kumar, who arrived in city yesterday afternoon, went to Chamundi Hill along with his wife and son in his official car, sans any police escort. After parking his vehicle at the parking lot, Ravi Kumar walked to the temple located at a distance of about 600 mts from the parking lot. Mysuru Tahsildar Rakshit, Chamundeshwari Temple Executive Officer Yathiraj Sampathkumaran, Assistant Executive Officer Govindaraj and other officials who stood waiting to receive the CS in front of the temple, were perplexed to see the CS walking up to the temple without any escort. Soon they rushed to the CS and offered him a ‘Poornakumbha’ welcome.
