The Band House that once housed the Mysore Police Band will be brought back to its past glory and restored to its original place Old Mysore City Police Commissioner’s Office at Nazarbad. It will be weaned away from the present Mounted Police Company on Lalitha Mahal Road and brought back to its original place. Not only this, the Band House will be renovated suitably and a Museum too with rare collections is planned.
Usually, Police Band gets its attention only during Dasara or during events like Republic Day Parade or during the visit of any VVIP or a foreign dignitary. Now plans have been chalked out for daily performance of the Band so that it will attract tourists. With the City Police Commissioner’s Office shifted to new and swanky premises nearby, the old Office is all set to pave way to house the Police Band.
