Minister in charge of Mysuru district H.C. Mahadevappa said an international cricket stadium will come up at Varakodu on outskirts of Mysuru.
Fielding reporters queries during a ‘Meet the Press’ programme organized by Mysuru District Journalists’ Association (MDJA) in Mysuru on Saturday, Mr. Mahadevappa said former international cricketers Srinath and Anil Kumble had met him and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah during the previous tenure of the Congress government, when he was Minister for Public Works, with regard to an international standard cricket stadium in Mysuru.
There is proposal to establish a cricket stadium at Varakodu by sanctioning land from Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) for the purpose, he said.
Mr. Mahadevappa’s announcement on the location of the international cricket stadium at Varakodu comes after much brouhaha over the facility coming up on 20 acres of land adjacent to the Regional Centre of Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) situated on the Outer Ring Road in Sathgalli in the city.
Mr. Mahadevappa said the State Government will soon establish a Film City on 100 to 125 acres of land near Hadinaru village on the outskirts of Mysuru. He said the proposal had been cleared during the tenure of the earlier government and the same will be revived now.
Mr. Mahadevappa said the government conceived a ‘zero traffic’ plan for around 2 km around Devaraja Market in the heart of Mysuru.
He said the government was looking forward to establishing an eco-friendly zone in the area by prohibiting traffic movement.
