Minister for Tourism H.K. Patil on Monday, July 24, said the implementation of development works under the Centre’s Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Heritage Augmentation Drive (PRASHAD) will be taken up only after the Detailed Project Report (DPR) is cleared by the Chamundi Hills Development Authority.
While the DPR for works to be taken up atop Chamundi Hills under PRASHAD at a cost of ₹45 crore will be under preparation, Mr. Patil, who is also the Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs in the Congress government in the State, said he had discussed the projects to be taken up for development of Chamundi Hills with the officials.
Mr. Patil, who was speaking to reporters after visiting the hill shrine on Monday, said he would discuss with experts on the developmental components of the project before the DPR is readied.
