Mysuru: After the pomp, gaiety and fanfare of Dasara is over, all that the Durbar hall is left with is litters, which has left the erstwhile Royal family scion Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar fuming.
In his Instagram post on Tuesday night, he said, “The aftermath… We cannot take our cleanest city tag seriously when the very Icon of our city is treated in this manner. When will the people understand that the Palace Durbar hall is not a theatre. Never has anyone at any point been allowed to consume food at the durbar hall, let alone throw around their trash like some theatre. (Not that we should throw trash around in a theatre) We should understand at some point that we must preserve the sanctity of our sacred festival, our great city, and its landmarks. Hope this blatant disregard to our most sacred building is not a annual feature.”
This was the first time that the district administration had made seating arrangements at the durbar Hall to accommodate VVIPs to watch the Jamboo Savari. So far, only relatives and friends of the Royal family were allowed to visit the hall to witness Jumboo Savari.
The VVIPs and their family members, who had carried food items, coffee cups, paper plates and even plastic bags have dumped the waste inside the hall indiscriminately, creating an ugly scene.
