Supreme Court Orders Protection and Restoration of Mysuru's Devaraja Market and Lansdowne Building
The Supreme Court of India has directed the protection and restoration of Mysuru's historic Devaraja Market and Lansdowne Building, both constructed in the 1880s. Following a report by an IIT Roorkee expert committee, the court noted that these heritage structures, part of Mysuru's civic architecture ensemble, can be conserved despite some severe deterioration. The court's order came after reviewing a plea challenging a Karnataka High Court decision that allowed potential demolition or reconstruction. A detailed conservation plan is recommended for their preservation.
