Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra has mooted the idea of promoting night tourism in Mysuru.
Participating in an interaction programme with reporters organised by Mysuru District Journalists’ Association (MDJA) on Monday, Mr Rajendra said most of the places of tourist interest in the city including the zoo close by 5.30-6 p.m.
“There are not many attractions for the tourists in Mysuru at night time”, he said while adding that he had also discussed a proposal with the Mysuru palace officials to consider allowing the tourists to enjoy the experience of watching the palace till 10 p.m. at least during weekends to start with.
The same can be experimented with other historical structures also, Mr Rajendra said.
He said he had held discussions with people’s representatives including Mysuru MP on the setting up of an Integrated Command Control Centre to not only ensure the safety of women, senior citizens and children, but also monitor and regulate the traffic in the city.
The centre will seek ensure the safety of tourists particularly women, senior citizens and children visiting the famous heritage structures in Mysuru at night.
