Srirangapatna MLA Ramesh Bandisiddegowda also gave some new ideas. He suggested that along with the normal contests like the cow milking competition, there should also be a cattle exhibition. He said prizes must go to those who take part in these events. Ramesh Bandisiddegowda also wanted “Yoga Dasara” to have both yoga shows and yoga competitions. He said schools and colleges must join through the Education Department so that more students can take part, reported The Hindu.
Deputy Commissioner Dr. Kumar explained that different small committees are already working on arrangements. These committees will look after things like the welcome, sports, procession, health, decoration of the city, finance, cleanliness, food, food festival, exhibitions, and cultural shows.
He said that half of the exhibition stalls will be given for a food festival and there people can taste special dishes from many districts. He also added that a big cleaning drive will happen at Kirangur Bannimantap, the starting point of the Dasara procession.
