  "account": "A petition has been submitted to Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar advocating for businesses in Mysuru to operate until 1 a.m. The Mysuru Hotel Owners’ Association president, C. Narayanagowda, presented the request to Mr. Shivakumar during his visit to the city on Sunday. The petition seeks permission to extend business hours for commercial establishments and trade within the Mysuru City Corporation limits until 1 a.m., a proposal that echoes an announcement made in the 2024-25 Budget speech to permit such hours in 20 City Corporations across Karnataka, including Bengaluru. Mr. Narayanagowda highlighted that the order is already in effect in Bengaluru and that the Mysuru City police have recommended the same extension in a report to the State police headquarters. He stated that extending operating hours would enhance access to food and essential commodities for tourists and those visiting hospitals at night, stimulate the hotel industry, create employment opportunities, and boost tax revenue for the government. Mr. Narayanagowda urged the Chief Minister to take prompt action and issue an official order permitting businesses within Mysuru City Corporation limits to operate until 1 a.m., aligning with similar initiatives in Bengaluru under Mr. Shivakumar's leadership.",
