Mysuru: Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru G. Lakshmikanth Reddy, has officially taken over as the Chairman of Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA). The notification confirming his appointment was issued on Oct. 21 and Reddy assumed  office this noon.

Reddy’s appointment follows the resignation of K. Marigowda, which was submitted on Oct. 16 and subsequently accepted by the State Government.
