THE TRUTH ABOUT: A letter to modi to save chamundi hills | History Defined

Ahead of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Mysuru to take part in the International Day of Yoga at the palace on June 21, an activist has sought to remind him of his recent concerns over environment and has urged him to save Chamundi Hills where a slew of projects have been proposed.

Bhamy V. Shenoy, founding president of Mysuru Grakahara Parishat (MGP), said it would not be possible to meet the Prime Minister in person and hence he though of writing a letter to the PMO and draw Mr.Modi’s attention to certain issues germane to the city which the latter will visit on June 20 and 21.

Calling upon the Prime Minister to stop the so-called development works atop Chamundi Hills, Mr.Shenoy said it would be in sync with his recent exhortation to adapt “Life Style For Environment” as a mission and which was also proposed at the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 26) at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland.
