Mysuru district minister HC Mahadevappa has unveiled a significant development blueprint for Mudukutore, a key religious and tourist hub, promising enhanced infrastructure and public facilities. The announcement came during a preparatory meeting for the upcoming Mudukutore Jatra Mahotsava.
Holistic Development Plan for a Key Destination
Presiding over the preliminary meeting in the village, Minister Mahadevappa detailed a multi-faceted plan aimed at the holistic growth of his constituency. He confirmed that several works, including a residential school, lift irrigation projects, and road development, are already finished. Looking ahead, the minister revealed that approvals have been granted for a diploma college, a new bus stand, a hospital, and additional irrigation works at Mudukutore.
Addressing Public Concerns and Launching New Projects
During the interaction, villagers raised the critical issue of drinking water scarcity within the gram panchayat limits. In a swift response, Minister Mahadevappa contacted the zilla panchayat chief executive officer on the spot, directing an immediate inspection and resolution of the water problem.
The minister also performed the Bhoomi Puja for two vital projects: the renovation of the Mudukutore lift irrigation project and the construction of an Ayushman Hospital at T Bettahalli village. His visit included a stop at the government primary school to assess conditions firsthand.
Preparations for the Grand Jatra Mahotsava
With the major Mudukutore Jatra festival scheduled from January 21 to 28, the minister instructed officials to make elaborate arrangements for its smooth and successful conduct. This includes organizing religious rituals and cultural programmes to draw devotees and tourists.
He issued specific directives to ensure devotees' safety and convenience, focusing on safe drinking water supply, precautionary measures at riverbank bathing ghats, and strict sanitation maintenance. Furthermore, to protect livestock, he ordered preventive steps to curb the spread of infectious diseases among cattle.
To add an educational and cultural dimension to the festival, Mahadevappa asked the Kannada and Culture Department to arrange cultural events. He also instructed officials from the agriculture, horticulture, and fisheries departments to set up informative, awareness-oriented exhibitions for the public.
