Mysore/Mysuru: It’s been several years since Millennium Circle at the LIC Divisional Office (officially named after former Minister late T. N. Narasimha Murthy) in Bannimantap in the city turns into a temporary market place for sheep fair ahead of every Bakrid festival. The District Administration is yet to take note of the demand to provide a permanent place for the fair. Bakrid festival this year is on June 29 (Thursday).
It’s a matter of regret that, the sheep sellers have to inevitably rely on the Circle island to sell their livestock to prospective buyers, daring the risky situation they bring upon themselves from the hectic traffic in the Circle connecting Bengaluru Road. Any minute negligence can prove costly to the safety of sellers, vehicle users and pedestrians.
