The State government is mulling over introducing the interest waiver scheme on water dues (for domestic consumers) as it has asked the Mysuru City Corporation to submit a proposal in this regard.
The direction came at a meeting chaired by Minister for Urban Development B.S. Suresh (Byrathi) in Bengaluru on Thursday, August 31, in which senior officials, including the Commissioner of the MCC, attended. The Minister also discussed the works being carried out by the MCC and Mr. Suresh also reviewed the progress of the development works.
The Minister said the outstanding water tax has gone up to ₹200 crore, including the principal and interest. “The government is mulling on whether the interest on the principal amount can be waived. In this regard, submit a detailed proposal to the government,” Mr. Suresh told the MCC.
