The Municipal Police of Mysur rejected the permission for Sankalpa Yatra and a religious meeting scheduled by the Hindu Jagaran Vedike at the top of Chamundi Hills on Tuesday. Vedike suggested to remove Padayatra from Sangolli Rayanna Circle on the hill, starting with 7.30
The police said Chamundi Hills had a prominent temple as well as a tourist destination that attracts thousands of devoted and tourists every day. In the announcement of Vedike’s Police Inspector Kršnaraja explained that this area also has a high density of traffic and is currently running several works in connection with the upcoming Dasara.
In addition, no assembly or protests are allowed on the hills. Since Chamundi Hills is a forest area, it is dangerous to perform Padayatra, especially after recent leopards in the region, the inspector said.
In addition, another organization asked for permission to carry out a slaughter and protest against hills. Given the public interest and need to protect the right and order the police said that Padayatra and the assembly cannot be allowed on the hills of Chamundi.
Vedike hit the state government over his movement, which injured Hinda sentiment, especially as a result of his invitation to the writer and the winner of the Booker Award Ban Mushtaq for the inauguration of this year’s Dasar festivities.
