‘Court order not the end, but beginning of a long haul’
December 22, 2020
Mysore/Mysuru: Reacting to the High Court order, one of the petitioners in the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) Raja Chandra, who is the son-in-law of Maharaja Jayachamaraja Wadiyar, told Star of Mysore that this is not the end but a beginning of a long struggle to save
Devaraja Market, the ‘Soul of Mysore.’
“Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and the political leaders must realise that demolition is not the only solution. The civic body has not done any sincere attempts to restore or at least study the Devaraja Market. What has the MCC dome to maintain the Devaraja Market all these years before one of the portions collapsed? Apart from depending on a committee report that has recommended demolition, the MCC has done nothing,” he said.
Sir,
It was fascinating to go through Gouri Satya’s write-up in SOM dated Dec. 20 on ‘De Havilland Arch, an Engineering Marvel’ in continuation of Dr. Javeed Nayeem’s article. Of course, needless to say both of them have been a source of great information to old-time SOM readers like me.
In the article there is a reference to the stairway to Chamundi Hill from Uttanahalli side. This stirred my curiosity on Chamundi Hill Road as the stretch leading to Uttanahalli is named after my maternal grandfather H.R. Venkatasubba Rao (see picture above).
I know practically nothing about him except what my father mentioned about him. He died around the time I was born in January 1932.
