Will the Dasara Exhibition grounds in Mysuru be developed on the lines of Delhi’s Pragati Maidan?
The announcement in the Budget for the year 2023-24 presented by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah that the grounds belonging to the Karnataka Exhibition Authority (KEA) will be upgraded on the lines of the famous Pragathi Maidan, has generated interest among the stakeholders of the tourism industry here. If the plan materialises, it will help in tourism promotion, they argue.
However, no allocation has been made in the Budget to substantiate the plan. It has to be seen whether the government is serious about upgrading the facility or will the plan remain on paper, like in the past.
