Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has convened a meeting of Mysuru leaders to discuss the development works and other issues. The meeting was convened at his home office Krishna in Bengaluru on January 10.
This was confirmed by the office of Mysuru MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, who had met the Chief Minister recently and sought his intervention with regard to the development works. The MP had sought his attention for speeding up transfer of land for the expansion of Mysuru airport and with regard to the development works in Mysuru district. Minister in charge of Mysuru district H.C. Mahadevappa was also present.
Both MLAs and MLCs have been informed about the special meeting.
While thanking the Chief Minister for convening the meeting, Mr. Wadiyar said he had urged him to convene a meeting to discuss the development of Mysuru. “I am delighted that the Chief Minister responded swiftly to my appeal and convened the meeting.”
Mr. Wadiyar said, setting aside political differences, the leaders from the district must come together and work for the development of the district. “Let us make Mysuru a model district in the State. I am attending the meeting. I also appeal to other leaders to attend the meeting and air their suggestions.”
The MP said with the Chief Minister he will discuss the airport expansion works, proposed international cricket stadium, road development, industrial development, national highways, railway projects, and other works for the comprehensive development.
Mr. Wadiyar had sought Chief Minister’s intervention for expediting the process of transferring the land for the expansion of Mysuru airport. Emphasising the need for early completion of airport expansion for driving economic development in the city, the MP said the airport expansion will boost economic growth, drawing tourists, investors, and industrialists to the city.
The MP had earlier urged the Chief Minister to intervene in the matter of transferring 46 acres of land required for the airport development. Mr. Wadiyar also urged the Chief Minister for taking steps on the acquisition of land for the international cricket stadium proposed in Mysuru.
