Members of various communities, including Ursu Mandali Sangha, took part in a protest rally in Mysuru, demanding the government to remove a controversial statue at Gun House Circle. The ongoing statue installation work is still in court, and the district administration is urged to await the final verdict. Additionally, there is an appeal to install a statue of Sri Kantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar, following the tradition of installing statues of erstwhile rulers of Mysuru kingdom.
