The fate of the nearly 250-year-old Kunigal Stud Farm, one of the top stud farms in the country today, is hanging in the balance.
A global tender to manage the 421.32 acre farm, started during the reign of 18th century Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan, stands cancelled after the tendering process was completed. Meanwhile, the process to have an integrated township in its place has been initiated.
Sources in the Urban Development Department (UDD) confirmed the proposal for a township based on “local demand”, and said that a pre-feasibility survey is being commissioned.
