Mysore/Mysuru: Mysore Palace, a prominent tourist destination that draws visitors from around the world, is not immune to threats due to its unique status in Southern India. Given its significance, it has become a potential target for destructive activities, necessitating enhanced security measures.
Ironically, the electric fence encircling the Palace, intended to provide security, has become ineffective and symbolic, failing to deter intruders. The 2.5-kilometre compound wall is lined with an electric fence, but it no longer delivers a shock upon contact. This vulnerability was exposed when people easily breached the wall during Jumboo Savari procession on Oct. 24.
