Massive crowds flock venue; one more free entry this evening

Mysuru: The District Administration has decided to allow the public to watch the drone shows for free on Oct. 6 and Oct. 7 (today). However, entry will be only with a pass for the drone displays scheduled to be held on Oct. 11 and Oct. 12.
With no pass system in place, thousands of eager spectators flooded the Bannimantap Torchlight Parade Grounds last evening to witness the much-anticipated drone show.
Crowds began arriving as early as 5.30 pm and by 7 pm, the grounds were completely packed, with countless others standing outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of the spectacle.
In their excitement, people moved restlessly, eager for a clear view. For those seated under the roof, the view was obstructed, prompting them to stand and capture the event on their mobile phones often crowding atop   one another.
