Can Ambikapur model help MCC tackle plastic menace in Mysuru?

With Mysuru not able to make it as the country’s cleanest cities in the recent surveys, as other Indian cities have overtaken it topping the list of ‘Swachh’ cities under the Swachh Bharat Mission, the officers of the Mysore City Corporation have been asked to lay emphasis on the cleanliness, and focus on reclaiming the lost recognition as the cleanest city in the coming years.

“Heaps of trash are found on the roadsides. This has been causing inconvenience to the public and posing a health hazard besides spoiling the surrounding environs. The source from where the trash was generated and found littered on the roads needs to be found and tackled,” said Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra.

At a meeting here on streamlining solid waste management here, he said the MCC has to lay importance on freeing the city from the plastic wastes and added that the support of the public to the MCC was key in making it possible.
