The weekend before Dasara witnessed a sharp spurt of tourists in Mysuru with hotels reporting an occupancy ranging from 75 to 80 per cent on Saturday.
Even as the authorities were busy making last-minute preparations for Dasara, albeit a low-key one, with the officials of Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) conducting a trial run of the illumination of an estimated 100 km of the roads in the city, tourists made a beeline to Mysuru.
With Saturday also a public holiday on account of Gandhi Jayanti followed by a Sunday, a large number of tourists had arrived in the city. “Our occupation was almost 75 to 80 per cent on Saturday. It, however, came down on Sunday”, said President of Hotel Owners’ Association of Mysuru K. Narayana Gowda.

The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
