The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) on Sunday, September 17, launched a drive to rope in youth in the cleanliness drive as envisaged under Indian Swachhata League to make Mysuru city garbage free.
The drive was inaugurated in the presence of Dasara elephants and the MCC authorities said that in the days ahead, there will be additional programmes including painting, voluntary service by way of ‘’shramdaan’’, cycle jatha etc. to ensure that there was greater awareness among the youth and their involvement in keeping the city clean. The participants formed a human chain near Gandhi Square to spread the message of keeping the city tidy and free of garbage.
The ISL is a Central government initiative to involve the youth in making the cities free of garbage and in 2022, more than 5 lakh youngsters, youth leaders, celebrity icons and others took part in it and contributed to make their respective cities cleaner.
