MLC A.H. Vishwanath has criticized the state government for neglecting Mysuru's heritage and flagged security lapses at the palace following a recent gas cylinder explosion. He expressed concern over unauthorized vendors and non-functional CCTV cameras, warning of potential exploitation by anti-social elements. Vishwanath urged the Chief Minister to convene a meeting to address these security loopholes and called for better conservation policies for heritage structures in the city.
