The Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) has stepped up preparations for the illumination and power arrangements for Mysuru Dasara 2026, with a focus on ensuring the safety of visitors and preventing disruptions during the festivities. CESC managing director M.S. Archana said precautionary measures were being implemented as the city prepares to receive lakhs of tourists and visitors for the annual celebrations. The electricity utility is coordinating arrangements to ensure that the extensive illumination planned across Mysuru does not compromise public safety or the reliability of power supply.

CESC has been strengthening its preparedness ahead of the Dasara festivities, when the demand for electricity and the number of people in public spaces are expected to increase significantly. The corporation is taking steps to minimise the possibility of power-related incidents and interruptions during the celebrations. The arrangements are particularly important as several parts of the city will be illuminated and large crowds are expected to gather at key locations during the festival period.

The safety measures are aimed at ensuring that electrical installations used for Dasara illumination are handled with appropriate precautions. With temporary lighting arrangements and electrical connections forming an important part of the city's festive decorations, CESC officials are focusing on preventing faults that could affect visitors or interrupt the illumination. The corporation's preparations are also intended to support the smooth functioning of other public facilities and activities that depend on a stable power supply during the celebrations.

Mysuru Dasara attracts large numbers of visitors every year, making crowd safety and uninterrupted essential services important priorities for the authorities. The illumination is one of the major attractions of the festival, with prominent areas of the city decorated and lit up as part of the celebrations. CESC's preparations are therefore being carried out alongside the broader arrangements for managing the expected increase in tourist movement and public gatherings across Mysuru.

Archana has been inspecting the arrangements as part of the preparations and emphasising the need for precautionary measures during the festival. The electricity utility is expected to maintain close attention to the power infrastructure throughout the celebrations so that any issues can be addressed promptly. The focus remains on reducing the risk of electrical disruptions while ensuring that the city's Dasara illumination can operate safely for residents and visitors.

With Mysuru preparing for another major Dasara celebration, CESC's strengthened safety arrangements are intended to support both the city's festive illumination and reliable electricity supply. The measures come as authorities prepare for large crowds and increased activity across the city during the festival. Ensuring safe electrical installations and minimising power disruptions will remain key aspects of the preparations as Mysuru gets ready to host visitors for Dasara 2026.
