Mysore/Mysuru: Last year and in 2020, the District Administration faced severe criticism from the devotees and the public for allowing several VIPs who came with their groups to the Chamundeshwari Temple on Ashada Fridays and Chamundeshwari Vardhanti. The VIPs were allowed entry even as the Temple was out of bounds for devotees.
This step was widely criticised and the social media was full of comments, ridiculing the Police and District authorities. During yesterday’s meeting, City Police Commissioner Dr. Chandragupta raised the issue and asked District Minister S.T. Somashekar to make the stand clear on issuing VIP passes to vehicles as private vehicles are banned this time.
