Gold Cards to carry seat numbers, no complimentary cards
The government announced that new Gold Cards will include seat numbers and will no longer be issued as complimentary, aiming to streamline distribution and cut costs. Separately, the Mysuru Dasara festival launched an official website offering schedules, ticketing, and cultural highlights, while inviting ambassadors from abroad to attend, underscoring the event's expanding international appeal. The move reflects a broader effort to modernize public services.
