Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC) will close its properties in Nandi Hills in Chikkaballapur district and Belur and Halebidu in Hassan district on General Assembly elections days, April 26 and May 7 to encourage voting.
“We have already cancelled the bookings we had received for those days and initiated refund. We want people to vote in larger numbers and some of our employees would also have to travel to different places to vote on those days. Hence, we will be closing the properties,” said G. Jagadeesha, managing director, KSTDC.
Last year too, during the State Assembly elections, KSTDC had closed all its properties on election day.
