The Mysuru city police on Tuesday denied permission for celebration of Mahisha Dasara as well as the Chamundi Betta Chalo march on October 13.
City Police Commissioner Ramesh B., in a statement on Tuesday evening, said the police has denied permission for the organisers of both the events in view of the threat to peace and law and order situation in the city.
Former Mayor Purushotham, who heads the organising committee of Mahisha Dasara, had submitted an application to the Mysuru city police seeking permission for showering petals on the statue of Mahishasura atop Chamundi Hills at 9.30 a.m. on October 13 as part of Mahisha Dasara celebrations before taking out a procession from the foothills to Town Hall.
