Last week, when the agitation was a daily affair, tourist flow to Mysore was badly hit as traffic between Bangalore and Mysore was disrupted for several hours daily at Mandya.
Mandya, 50km from Mysore and 80km from Bangalore, is the hotbed of agitation whenever a row erupts over the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.
Usually most of the hotels in Mysore report near full booking a few days before Dussehra starts. But this time, there are only enquiries and few bookings, particularly from people outside Karnataka and foreigners, according to Rajendra.
