Mysore/Mysuru: As part of World Environment Day, Hootagalli City Municipal Council in association with Infosys, Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement (SVYM), Maharaja Institute of Technology (MIT) and Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE) have taken up the rejuvenation of Belawadi and Hootagalli kalyanis (ponds).
Both the kalyanis were in a dilapidated state becoming a breeding place for insects and weeds. Being among the oldest kalyanis in Mysuru, both the kalyanis played a vital role in fulfilling the drinking water needs for villagers and animals. However, with urbanisation and implementation of drinking water supply system, these kalyani remained neglected.
