Chamundi Hill in Mysuru is a famous religious spot and a protected forest area. It is known for its rich plants, animals, and birds. But environmentalists say the hill is losing its balance due to too much commercial activity and poorly planned projects like the PRASHAD scheme. Unauthorized shops, traffic jams, and plastic waste have taken over the area. Garbage piles and lack of cleanliness have hurt both the forest and the temple's calm. To protect this sacred hill, Mysuru’s 'Parisarakkagi Naavu' group is organising a peaceful walk on Sunday, January 4. The event will highlight the environmental risks the hill faces. Several groups like Mysuru Grahakara Parishat and Youth for Ecological Sustainability support this walk. Many respected seers from regional mutts, including Sri Shivakumara Swamiji and Sri Nijalingananda Swamiji, will join the event. Other notable participants include former MLA A.T. Ramaswamy and Major General (Retd) Sudheer Vombatkere. The walk will start at 7:30 a.m. from Chamundi Hill's foothill near Suttur Mutt. Participants will carry placards and peacefully climb the steps to the top. The event will end with a brief meeting in front of Subbanna Balika High School where fruits will be given to attendees. Those who cannot climb may reach the top by road and join the meeting. Parashurame Gowda, General Secretary of the organising group, urged Mysuru residents to join and help save Chamundi Hill’s religious and natural heritage.
