As the impasse over the dispute of ownership of Idgah Maidan in Chamarajpet continues, no events will be allowed to be held on the grounds.
“Since there is a dispute on the ownership of the land and our claims are being contested by another government body, we are not in a position to give any official permission for any event on the ground,” said Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner Tushar Giri Nath.
Hindutva organisations revoking a dispute that seemed settled till recently, have sought permission from the civic body to hold an event for International Yoga Day on June 21 and a week-long Independence Day event in August.
