Mysore/Mysuru: Former Mayor Sandesh Swamy has urged the authorities concerned to re-open Rangacharlu Memorial Town Hall in the heart of the city for the cause of promoting arts.
Swamy, who has submitted a memorandum to Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner in this regard, has recalled the history associated with the Town Hall that was named after Dewan C.V. Rangacharlu. The then king of erstwhile Mysore Chamaraja Wadiyar X constructed the Town Hall in the year 1884 to encourage art and artistes. Even after independence, the heritage structure is a witness to many historical events. Till recently, more dramas were staged by professional artistes at Town Hall, but it remains closed since three months depriving the art patrons.
