Chamaraja MLA L.Nagendra and MCC Commissioner Lakshmikanth Reddy on Friday called on Pramoda Devi Wadiyar of the erstwhile royal family and sought to apprise her of the developments related to Devaraja Market and Lansdowne Building.
The attempt to coopt the Wadiyars follows strong opposition to the proposed demolition of the two structures approved by the District Heritage Committee. The titular maharaja Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar had also hit the streets and had inaugurated a protest march by the tenants of the Devaraja Market recently.
