Mysuru: Is the Dasara Exhibition held every year at the Karnataka Exhibition Authority (KEA) Grounds, opposite the Mysore Palace, an exercise in futility for hundreds of shop-keepers who set up shop at the Grounds as part of annual Dasara celebrations?
This question begs an answer, since the shop-owners are a wearied lot, as their business has suffered, though the footfalls to the exhibition keeps growing. Their cry that except on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, the daily business on other days hardly crosses Rs.1,000, shows their plight in trying to do business at the Exhibition.
