Following the Supreme Court’s direction to conserve and restore Mysuru’s iconic heritage structures instead of demolishing them, Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, Mysuru MP, has urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to immediately release funds and commence restoration works on the historic Devaraja Market and Lansdowne Building.
In a letter to the Chief Minister, Mr. Wadiyar described the Supreme Court’s May 4 verdict on the two heritage buildings as a landmark decision. “The apex court rejected proposals for demolition and reconstruction of the 19th-century structures and has instead ordered their conservation and renovation,” the MP said.
