‘Stop construction of apartment building around Chamundi Hill area’
Addressing the media persons at Pathrakarthara Bhavan, here this morning, Raghu Kautilya, said, while the area surrounding the Chamundi Hill had been declared as heritage zone and the area around it as buffer zone, a few officials seem to have colluded with the builder to issue ‘No Objection Certificate’ to facilitate the construction works.
“Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who had previously represented the Chamundeshwari Assembly Constituency, has not contributed for the development of heritage sites in the city. At least now, he should initiate measures to safeguard the greenery of Chamundi Hill and surrounding areas,” said Raghu, who also demanded the State Government to file criminal cases against officials of Forest, Ecology and Environment Department, Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) Limited, Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and Sri Chamundeshwari Development Authority for allegedly granting the NOC.
DC must intervene
He also exhorted the authorities to stop the ongoing construction works by University of Mysore (UoM) near the welcome arch of Chamundi Hill.
