The hotel industry in Mysuru, which had suffered a huge hit due to COVID-19 pandemic, has sought the clearance of long-pending dues from the district administration and other government agencies.
The Mysuru district administration, Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and Department of Youth Affairs and Sports (DYES) had not cleared their dues towards lodging and catering amounting to more than ₹50 lakh that were pending for three to four years, said Mysuru Hotel Owners Association President Narayana Gowda.
The bills pertaining to rooms booked by the district administration during the Kannada Sahitya Sammelan in 2017 and during Dasara of 2019 were still pending. The MCC is yet to pay the bill for catering of food to its election branch. The DYES, which has paid a portion of the pending amount towards rooms booked by the Department, also needs to clear its dues, Mr. Gowda said.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
