A 24x7 cleanliness drive with the people engaged in maintaining Mysuru’s hygiene during Dasara celebrations working in three shifts for ensuring a ‘trash-free’ city.
In view of Dasara, a dedicated team of workers, other than the pourakarmikas of the Mysuru City Corporation, will work round-the-clock for keeping the city spick and span when tourists throng the city to witness the annual spectacle.
“We have roped in 350 people exclusively for cleanliness during Dasara. These workers will work in two shifts – afternoon and night – and keep the venues of all the Dasara events hygienic on priority. Every night, after 11.30 p.m., the streets of Mysuru, especially those in the central business district, will be cleaned so that there is no trash seen the next day. The team will work till 2 a.m. The special cleanliness drive will be for a duration of 12 days from September 26,” said MCC Health Officer D.G. Nagaraj.
