MCC to Auction Spaces Outside Kudroli & Mangaladevi Temple For Stalls During 10-Day Dasara Festival

The Mangalore City Corporation (MCC), will auction spaces outside the Kudroli Gokarnanatha Temple and Mahatobara Mangaladevi temple where trade stalls will come up during the 10-day Dasara festival, which starts on October 3.

The public action of the spaces follows the direction of the Karnataka High Court on a writ petition filed by a section of street vendors under the aegis of Karnataka Rajya Hindu Jatra Vyaparasthara Sangha. In the order on September 26, Judge Hemant Chandangoudar directed the MCC Commissioner not to allot spaces for setting up stalls/shops, outside the two temples, without following due process of law.
