Pratap Simha, Mysuru MP, has announced that a “Chamundi Betta Chalo” event will be held on October 13 to counter the Mahisha Dasara celebrations.
Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Mr. Simha said participants in the ‘Chamundi Betta Chalo’ event will reach the hill top by either the footsteps or the road.
The participants will gather at the foothills at 8 a.m. to take the steps to the hill top. “People, who cannot climb, will take the road and travel by motorcycle or cars. We will stop the practice of celebrating Mahisha Dasara, which is an insult to goddess Chamundeshwari,” he said adding that he was expecting at least 5,000 people to participate in the Chamundi Betta Chalo agitation.
