Row over renaming Princess Road as ‘Siddaramaiah Arogya Marga’: City BJP stages protest
Hundreds of protestors detained and released
Mysuru: Hundreds of BJP workers led by City BJP President L. Nagendra and Rural President L.R. Mahadevaswamy, staged a protest in front of Swami Vivekananda Statue at Cheluvamba Park on KRS Road (Princess Road) in city this morning, strongly voicing their angst against the proposal to rename the road as ‘Siddaramaiah Arogya Marga.’
However, the heavy contingent of Police deployed on the spot, took the protestors into preventive custody, thus foiling their plan to take out a silent march till Princess Krishnajammanni TB (PKTB) Sanatorium, on the same stretch of the Road.
The protestors demanded that Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) that has issued a notification inviting objections to rename the stretch of KRS Road as ‘Siddaramaiah Arogya Marga,’ should drop the proposal, considering the historical documents that are available substantiating the naming of ‘Princess Road.’
