Mysore/Mysuru: Tensions ran high at Kurubarahalli Circle at the foot of Chamundi Hill this morning as Police intervened to stop two opposing marches over the controversy surrounding the inauguration of the upcoming Mysuru Dasara.
The Hindu Jagarana Vedike, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had organised a protest march — “Chamundi Betta Chalo” — opposing the State Government’s decision to invite International Booker Prize-winning author Banu Mushtaq to inaugurate the festivities.
