The city is coming to terms with the delay in disposal of legacy waste which is one of the factors that affected Mysuru’s overall ranking in Swacch Survekshan 2023.
The results of the survey conducted by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs were announced on Thursday and Mysuru which used to be ranked nationally within the top five clean cities, was ranked 23rd in the country.
This is the lowest-ever ranking under the survey which was launched in 2014 and has stunned the authorities. But Mysuru Deputy Commissoner K.V. Rajendra said here on Friday that the legacy waste was a serious challenge and going forward it would be addressed.
