Minister in-charge of Mysuru district S.T. Somashekar on Monday said Dasara-related works, including the works on beautifying the city, would begin once the rains receded. With the city experiencing heavy rains over the past few days, the works proposed as part of the festivities would be taken up after the rain situation eases, he added.
Speaking to reporters here, Mr. Somashekar said the Chief Minister-headed Dasara High Power Committee has decided to celebrate the festivities in a grand manner and accordingly, the programmes were being chalked out. The sub-committees overseeing the programmes and arrangements have also been constituted, he said.
To a question on the selection of the chief guest for inaugurating this year’s festivities atop Chamundi hills, he said no discussion had taken place on the matter yet.
