Plans to make Mysore Palace area ‘Zero Traffic Zone’, environment-friendly: Minister Mahadevappa
Mysuru: District In-charge Minister Dr. HC Mahadevappa has said that the area around the Mysore Palace will be made a ‘zero traffic zone’ and also an environment-friendly area.
Addressing reporters in the city on Saturday, the minister said, “Traffic management and other development work will be undertaken in an area covering 200 square metres, including Devaraj Market and Clock Tower. Vehicles will be given parking facility on the premises of the Town Hall and Nanjaraja Bahadur Chatra.”
Following the recent war of words between the minister and local MP Pratap Simha to take credit for the Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway, Dr. Mahadevappa said on Saturday, apparently aiming his response at the BJP MP, “The development work I implemented as Public Works Minister, including the Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway in 2014, when Oscar Fernandes was a Union Minister, have been recorded. I do not aim to take credit for work I have not done.”

Dalit woman, daughter assaulted, dragged on road in MP's Morena over trivial incident; 2 held
Morena, Jan 3: A Dalit woman and her daughter were brutally assaulted on Friday allegedly by two men and then dragged on the road in Morena in Madhya Pradesh following a minor incident involving a dog, a police official said.
A video of the incident, which took place in full public view in Ambah area, went viral on social media.
"Anita Mahor has sustained serious injuries after being hit by sticks and then dragged on the road. Her daughter Bharti is also injured. We have arrested Rajesh Tomar and Kumher Singh Tomar for assaulting them," Ambah police station in charge Satendra Singh Kushwaha said.
"Anita Mahor's son Deepak has told us that his younger brother Santosh was going to throw waste this morning when he was startled by the presence of a dog. He threw the waste, which also included dung, on the dog in fright and fled. This infuriated the two accused," he said.
The two accused and others stormed into Mahor's house armed with a chopper and sticks and attacked her and her kin, police said.
