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.”

Rajya Sabha adjourned till 12 pm as BJP members protest slogans against PM Modi at Congress rally
New Delhi (PTI): Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon on Monday amid uproar from Treasury benches over slogans raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a Congress rally in Delhi on Sunday.
Immediately after papers were laid in the Upper House, Leader of the House and Union Minister J P Nadda condemned the Congress for the slogans, saying they reflected the party's thinking.
"With pain and an agitated heart, I want to share before the House that yesterday in the Congress party rally, slogans were shouted 'Modi teri kabr khudegi, aaj nahi to kal khudegi' (Modi's grave will be dug.. if not today, then tomorrow). This type of slogan reflects the Congress party's thinking and mindset," Nadda said.
Describing the slogans as "condemnable," Nadda said Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge and senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi should apologise to the nation.
"Congress has stooped to a low level in politics, and it is unimaginable," he added.
The remarks triggered an uproar in the House, prompting Deputy Chairman Harivansh to adjourn proceedings till 12 noon.
