The Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC) is planning to resume its Ambari open-roof bus tours in Mysuru from September 4, after the initiative was interrupted by the pandemic and dearth of takers. After postponements, the initiative was finally launched in March this year. However, the buses were taken off the road when the pandemic situation worsened and a lockdown was announced. The service was resumed in August but had to be withdrawn soon due to lack of tourists. With the COVID-19 cases under control and reopening of tourist sites in and around Mysuru and also in neighbouring districts, the KSTDC is restoring the services from September 4. The tour was available between 9.30 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. The KSTDC is hoping to attract visitors this time as a lot of efforts have been put in for the initiative.More Related News
