Citizens can avail services from Apr. 28

Mysuru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah inaugurated the newly-constructed Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Zone-3 Office building at Sharadadevi Nagar, here this morning.

He unveiled the plaque and offered floral tributes to the bust of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar installed inside the building.

Later, he left for Periyapatna in a helicopter from Mysore Airport to inaugurate various development works and to take part in Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Dr. Babu Jagjivan Ram birth anniversary celebrations. The CM will return to Mysuru at 3.30 pm following which he will leave for Bengaluru.
