Chamundi Hill gears up for New Year rush
Mysuru: With a large number of devotees expected at Sri Chamundeshwari Temple atop Chamundi Hill for the New Year, Deputy Commissioner (DC) G. Lakshmikanth Reddy convened a meeting with officials at ZP Hall this morning to discuss and ensure necessary facilities for the devotees.
During the meeting, the DC emphasised the need for enhanced safety and security measures at the Hill. He instructed the Police to deploy personnel at all gates and key points along the route to the Hill. Additionally, the Police were directed to take steps for effective traffic management, vehicle parking and smooth vehicular movement.
He also announced a ban on auto rickshaw entry to the Hill on New Year’s Day as a traffic regulatory measure. “To manage the large number of devotees, KSRTC officials must operate additional buses corresponding to the crowd. Apart from city bus services, buses should be arranged from various layouts of the city and the City Railway Station directly to Chamundi Hill to accommodate the devotee rush on New Year’s Day,” he stated.
Furthermore, the DC informed that the Thavarekatte Gate leading to the Hill will open at 6.30 am on New Year’s Day, with devotees requested to walk to the Temple from the vehicle parking area atop the Hill.
