Chaos on Jumboo Savari route irks spectators
Procession Sub-Committee members block the view of Dasara Gold Card, ticket-holders
Mysuru: Improper arrangements and indiscipline during the Jumboo Savari led to chaos, prompting public frustration toward the Sub-Committee responsible for the event.
Despite repeated requests from ticket holders to move aside, these Sub-Committee members remained unmoved, obstructing views and creating disorder as tourists struggled to reposition themselves for a better view of the procession. Neither the Police nor the relevant officials intervened, leaving the tourists feeling like mere bystanders.
Hundreds of Sub-Committee members, pass holders, and even individuals without passes entered the Jumboo Savari route, snapping selfies and milling about without any oversight.
This prompted anger from Gold Card and pass holders, who shouted slogans against both the Sub-Committee members and the Police, who were deployed for Dasara security but appeared inactive.
Both Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar expressed their dissatisfaction to Deputy Commissioner G. Lakshmikanth Reddy.
