MCC releases Rs. 44 lakh for restoration of Silver Jubilee Clock Tower
Mysuru: The run-up to the State Budget is always marked by preparation of wish lists and this time, Mysuru Mayor Shivakumar will lead a delegation to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who holds the Finance portfolio, urging him to release Rs. 1,000 crore to give a facelift to the heritage buildings in Mysuru that are in dilapidated conditions. What prompted the Mayor to take this decision is the demand raised by JD(S) MLCs C.N. Manjegowda and Marithibbegowda in the Legislative Council asking the CM to earmark Rs. 1,000 crore in the Budget for the conservation of heritage structures in Mysuru that need desperate attention due to their dilapidated state.
