Authorities in Mysuru have ordered the immediate closure of illegal and unregistered homestays, signaling a stricter approach to local accommodation rules. The district administration has also warned that legal action may follow against operators who continue to run such properties without approval.
According to the announcement, inspections will be carried out to check whether homestays are following key compliance measures. These include the installation of CCTV systems, proper maintenance of guest records, verification of staff and the display of helpline information.
The move points to a wider enforcement drive focused on registration, monitoring and visitor safety. By targeting unlicensed establishments, the administration appears to be trying to bring all homestay operators under the same regulatory framework.
For travelers and property owners in Mysuru, the order highlights the importance of using and running only approved accommodation. It also underlines that basic safety and documentation standards are now central to how homestays in the district will be reviewed.
