Devaraja Market flower mart to remain closed ahead of Ugadi
The Hindu
It will function from JK Grounds from April 11 to 13
The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has ordered the closure of the flower mart and stalls at the Devaraja Market for three days from April 11 to 13 so as to prevent congregation of people ahead of the festival season. This is seen as a measure to curb the possible surge in COVID-19 cases. As an alternative the authorities have permitted the flower vendors to shift to the JK Grounds opposite the city railway station and function from there for 3 days. A large number of people tend to shop at the Devaraja Market ahead of the festival and this results in crowding and congestion. While such norms were accepted in the pre-pandemic times the district administration took note of the possible surge in the COVID-19 cases which was on the upswing in Mysuru since the last few days.
