As the 42-km stretch Outer Ring Road (ORR), which has become a key carriageway for commuters in Mysuru city, has continued to remain a dumping ground for solid waste and also construction debris with the local authorities turning blind to the nuisance, the Mysuru City Corporation, the Mysore Urban Development Authority, the newly-formed city municipal council and the town panchayats may jointly take up the responsibility of ORR’s cleanliness.
The urban local bodies are expected to be made accountable for keeping the ORR and its surroundings clean, preventing indiscriminate dumping of wastes and disposal wastes within their jurisdiction.
A decision in this regard was taken at a meeting chaired by Mysuru MP Pratap Simmha at the MCC office here on Tuesday. Senior officials from the MCC, MUDA and the town panchayats of Bogadi, Srirampura, Kadakola, and Hootagalli CMC were present.
