He was followed by other prominent figures including Krishna Raja MLA T. S. Srivatsa, Chamundeshwari MLA and former minister G.T. Devegowda, former MP Pratap Simha, State President of the Lok Janshakti Party Jagannath, CEO of Cycle Brand Agarbathis M.R. Suresh, and K.B. Lingaraju from the Mysore Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The dignitaries interacted with the editorial team, and conveyed their best wishes to the publication. The mood remained upbeat despite the inclement weather, with visitors acknowledging the importance of regional journalism and the potential impact of the Mysuru edition on local news coverage.

The event was coordinated and hosted by City Hilights Editor P. Sunil Kumar, directors Jesha Sunil and R. Nagaraj, and Mysore Bureau Chief Shyam Sundar Vattam, Senior journalist Sri Lakshmi and Advertisement Manager Kiran were present to receive and welcome the guests.

The launch of the Mysuru edition marks a significant step in expanding the newspaper’s footprint across Karnataka.
