District Minister asks officials to come up with novel ideas
Mysore/Mysuru: District Minister S.T. Somashekar instructed officials to strive for the total success of Dasara-2022 which is being celebrated in a grand manner after two years of low-key festivities due to COVID.
He was presiding over the Dasara Sub-Committees preliminary meeting at the Deputy Commissioner’s Office here on Thursday.
Asking the officials to come up with novel ideas for this Dasara, Somashekar suggested that new artistes and talents be picked for this year’s cultural events. He also advised the Sub-Committees to ensure that no lapses or any shortcomings occur.
Emphasising that new ideas will attract more tourists, the Minister directed CESC officials to make the Dasara illumination more attractive. He also assigned several tasks for Raitha Dasara, Yoga Dasara, Yuva Dasara, Mahila Dasara and other Sub-Sommittees and gave some suggestions on Film Festival, Fish Expo, Food Mela,Yuva Sambhrama etc., in order to make them a big crowd-puller.
Somashekar instructed officials to chalk out measures for ensuring that Vijayadashami procession (Jumboo Savari), Torchlight Parade at Bannimantap Parade Grounds and other events pass off smoothly without any untoward incidents.
He further directed the Sub-Committees to prepare an estimate of expenses and the funds required for their activities and programmes.

So more and more tourists, more money into the pockets of ministers and officials, and more stress on the Chamundi Hill structure when massive numbers of large tourist buses thunder on the Hill Road, loosening the structure ( Tourists do not take the crap of taking the dirty KSRTC buses at the foot of the Hill). After a few Dasaras like this, you will see the Chamundi Hill as a crumpled heap!
