The scion of the erstwhile royal family of Mysuru, Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, has welcomed the district administration's move to drop the proposed ropeway for Chamundi Hill.

Yaduveer, who visited Chamundeshwari Temple atop Chamundi Hill on the occasion of second 'Ashada' Friday, was speaking to reporters.

He said the palace and the public were opposing the project as it would affect the environment. "The authorities have taken a good decision," he said.

It has to be noted that the district administration had taken a decision to recommend the government to drop the project.
