Mysore/Mysuru: M. Appanna, Chairman of State-owned Jungle Lodges and Resorts (JLR), today inspected the landed properties attached to Lalitha Mahal Hotel that is run by JLR.

He further said that following complaints of illegal activities taking place in the surroundings of the Hotel, the Police would be asked to take action in this regard by stepping up round-the-clock vigil.
