Stung by lack of budgetary allocation for upkeep of heritage structures in Mysuru, a delegation of stakeholders will meet Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to drive home the imperatives of conservation.
Though Mysuru has more than 500 heritage structures of which nearly 130 are notified, most of them are in a crumbling stage and on the verge of collapse due to lack of funds for maintenance.
The concern crops up every year during monsoon as heavy rains tend to weaken the already dilapidated structures and as a routine, a ‘’wishlist’’ is submitted in the run up to the Budget. However, what has shocked the stakeholders is the complete rebuff without even a token allocation made towards conservation this year.
