The State Budget for 2023-24 proposes to establish Sri Chamundeshwari Temple Development Authority to undertake integrated development of Chamundi Hills.
The budget tabled by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah mentions that the authority will also seek to provide necessary infrastructure to lakhs of devotees who visit the temple in Mysuru.
Though stakeholders in Mysuru, including the environmentalists, wanted a separate authority for the conservation of Chamundi Hills, the proposed authority will come under the Muzrai Department which oversees the functioning of temples.
