With the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) endorsing the orders passed by the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) to release 12,000 cusecs of River Cauvery to Tamil Nadu daily for the next 15 days, the Mandya District Police have increased the security cover at Krishnaraja Sagar Reservoir in Srirangapatna, Mandya District.

The authorities have not only barricaded the front entrance of the reservoir but have also deployed security personnel, anticipating protests by farmers and pro-Kannada organisations. CCTV cameras are also being installed at the entrance to keep a hawk-eye view on the developments at KRS.

The Raitha Santhe constructed by the then Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), now Mysuru Development Authority (MDA), across the city has stayed neglected over the past few years. The market, which was built for the benefit of local growers, has turned out to be a place for alcoholics and illegal activities during the night hours.

With no proper maintenance, it has failed to attract customers, resulting in vendors incurring severe losses. The vendors, who were shifted here recently by Mysuru City Corporation (MCC), fear suffering further losses if authorities do not initiate measures to maintain cleanliness.

With speculation mounting over a possible reshuffle of the State Cabinet, three senior Congress leaders from the Mysuru region, former Ministers Tanveer Sait, Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa and K. Venkatesh, held a closed-door meeting at the Government House in Nazarbad this noon.

The meeting, which lasted more than an hour, has triggered fresh political speculation over Cabinet representation for the Mysuru region.

The meeting comes against the backdrop of recent statements by Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on restructuring the State Cabinet after the ongoing Legislature session, with indications of inducting new faces and dropping some of the existing Ministers.

None of the three leaders currently holds a ministerial position. Their meeting has, therefore, set political circles buzzing, particularly at a time when several aspirants are stepping up efforts to secure Cabinet berths.

Has the State Government begun preparations to host Kambala during Dasara this year despite growing opposition to the event and concerns over environmental destruction at the proposed venue in Sathagalli, adjacent to the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) Regional Centre along the Outer Ring Road?

Opposition has also been growing against what activists describe as an attempt to introduce a coastal cultural event into the traditional Mysuru Dasara celebrations, a legacy associated with the Wadiyars of Mysuru.

Officials of the Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES) have remained tight-lipped about preparations at the site. They maintain that the trees were cleared, the land levelled and shrubs burnt as part of preliminary work for a Cycling Velodrome project.

However, environmental activists and residents of the area have alleged that the official machinery is ‘playing hide and seek’ with the public by not disclosing the actual purpose of the land clearance.

They suspect that preparations are being made clandestinely to host Kambala at the site. A spot visit by Star of Mysore yesterday found that the land had been cleared of vegetation and levelled, while several felled trees had been burnt along with shrubs.

Environmentalists have opposed the proposed felling of trees, while the Forest Department is yet to grant permission.
