Mysuru: The contractor of the ongoing Fun Fair at Dasara Exhibition Grounds has been served a notice by the Karnataka Exhibition Authority (KEA) for drilling a borewell without prior permission from the authorities.
It is alleged that the contractor undertook the drilling secretly to ensure an uninterrupted water supply to the replica of Niagara Falls — a major crowd-puller at the Summer Exhibition, which began on May 9 and will conclude on June 17. The KEA claims that no official permission was sought for the borewell and some KEA employees are suspected of colluding with the contractor, according to sources.
