Mysore/Mysuru: Like last year, this year too, families and relatives of mahouts and kavadis will miss their annual Dasara trip to Mysuru. The Forest Department has taken a decision in this regard as bringing the families to Mysuru would be a risky affair though Coronavirus cases are on a rapid decline.
Usually, hundreds of family members arrive along with the elephants to the Mysore Palace and are housed in sheds inside. As the sheds are crowded and even the family members venture out of the Palace for shopping and eating during their stay, the Department has decided to play safe.
