Controversy-hit dome-like structures on bus stops in Mysuru changed


Mysuru, Nov 15 (IANS): After being warned by Hindu activists and the BJP MP for Mysuru Kodagu Pratap Simha, authorities in Karnataka have changed the shape of dome-like structures atop bus stops in the city.

The activists and the MP claimed that the three domes, one big and two smaller ones, had given the bus stops the look of a mosque.

The authorities have now erected a "kalash" (sacred pot) on the domes overnight.

The bus stops are located in Mysuru's Krishnaraja Assembly constituency.

The MP had given a deadline of four days to bring down the dome-like structures.

He added that if they were not demolished, he would do it himself with a JCB.

    No end to the idiocy of myopic people motivated by religious hate! They keep everyone entertained with their antics but at the cost of progress. Also this ill thought out and hideous design by the incompetent government engineer is misuse of public funds.

    It is so amusing to see that the architect has designed the structure which is so aesthetically ill_fitting in a modern city! But then who knows? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!🤭.

    Please be aware of Indian architecture before commenting. The domes were installed to match the palacial architecture prevalent in Mysore and did not depicit any religion. The MLA who threatened to demolish the bus stand should have been allowed to do the same. Only then we would have come to know if this was just upcoming election posturing, or was the MLA really willing to break the law by demolishing public property and facing arrest and legal action for the same.

    I am a great admirer of Pratap Simha. He gives equal importance to Development and Hindutva.
