Civic Felicitation Ceremony Honours MLA Dr. Manthar Gowda

Madikeri, Nov 04: Madikeri Dasara, which boasts a rich historical background, should be celebrated with increasing grandeur, evolving into a true 'people's festival' (Janotsava) year after year. To this end, a public meeting will be convened to decide on amendments to the bylaws, stated MLA Dr. Manthar Gowda.

He spoke after accepting a 'civic felicitation' (Paura Sanmana) organized on Tuesday by the 'Dasara Dasha Mantapa Samithi' (Committee of the Ten Pavilions) and 62 various public organizations at the 'Satkara' auditorium of the Redbricks institution in the city.

The MLA noted that preparations for Dasara should begin as early as April, acknowledging the hard work put in by many toward the construction of the *mantapas* (pavilions). He highlighted that, alongside the *Karaga* festival, the grand procession (*Shobhayatra*) is a crucial element of the Madikeri Dasara. He assured that efforts would be made to provide the maximum possible funding to the *Mantapa* committee.

Dr. Manthar Gowda stated that he would proceed in accordance with the advice and guidance of elders to foster development. He invited everyone to cooperate in organizing unique and distinct programs related to the Dasara festivities.

The MLA affirmed that he considers it his duty to ensure Dasara is celebrated as a 'people's festival' and pledged to fulfill this responsibility. He further assured the public that he would remain in constant touch with them. A high-tech stage is being constructed at the city's Gandhi Maidan. Road construction is also currently underway, and necessary cooperation should be extended for these works. He stated that further developmental initiatives can be undertaken when everyone joins hands for the town's progress.
