The Mysore Palace Board sanctioned Rs. 10.80 lakh as honorarium for mahouts, kavadis, handlers, and Forest Department staff who cared for this year's Dasara elephants.
Dasara elephants are a tradition many Bengaluru residents see during festival visits to Mysuru. This payment supports the workers who keep the animals safe through months of public duties.
Track whether the Forest Department deposits the Rs. 15,000 payments into caretakers' bank accounts this month.
