Mysore/Mysuru: A controversy over the erection of statues of two eminent personalities at Mathrumandali Circle that links Kalidasa Road to Paduvarahalli, Vontikoppal, Jayalakshmipuram and Yadavagiri compelled the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) to demolish the entire Circle.
The Mathrumandali Circle structure was demolished by the earth movers amidst stiff protests by the local residents and tension prevailed in the area for some time yesterday. However, the MCC’s instant solution of razing the Circle to avoid controversy has itself become controversial with many people criticising the civic body for inept handling of the issue.
