Mysuru: Police denies permission for contentious Mahisha Dasara and Chamundi Betta Chalo events
Mysuru: Mysuru Police Commissioner B. Ramesh issued an order on Tuesday denying permission for both Mahisha Dasara and ‘Chamundi betta chalo’ celebrations citing possible threat to peace and order of the city.
The decision follows the controversy surrounding the Mahisha Dasara celebrations slated for October 13, the celebrations which were initiated by Dalits in 2015 but were halted during BJP’s regime. In response, Kodagu-Mysuru BJP MP Pratap Simha called for the ‘Chamundi betta chalo’ event, citing that the Mahisha Dasara celebration was an insult to the Goddess Chamundeshwari .
Both the Mahisha Dasara Committee and BJP City Committee had sought permission for their respective celebrations on October 13. However the Commissioner of Police denied permission in order to maintain peace and order in Mysuru city.
“Police permission for both the programs has been denied due to the possibility of a threat to the peace, law and order of Mysuru city if permission is granted to both the above programs,” said the Commissioner in a release.
