Mysore/Mysuru: Upkeep of electric fittings inside the Mysore Palace is going on to keep date with Dasara 2020, which will begin on Oct. 17 and culminate with ‘Jumboo Savari’ on Oct. 26.
There are 25 five-lights lampposts, 12 seven-lights lampposts and over 250 OLP lampposts. Iron scaffoldings are being erected to clean lampposts and replace the burnt bulbs. Once these works are completed, the work of replacing the fused out incandescent bulbs will begin. Though this year Dasara celebrations are restricted to Chamundi Hill and Palace, all important circles, thoroughfares and the Government buildings will be illuminated. Giving a goodbye to the China-made lighting, the indigenously manufactured lighting will be used.
