80 ‘garbage-free’ spots campaign yields impressive results, says MCC

The campaign, held from July 28 to August 31, covered 80 garbage-vulnerable spots across the city. The initiative aimed not only to clear accumulated waste, but also to transform the spots and strengthen Mysuru’s position in the Swachh rankings.

MCC Commissioner M.K. Savita, who led the campaign with the support of officials and staff, said the initiative had helped create awareness about the importance of keeping the surroundings clean and sustaining sanitation efforts.

“We launched this initiative with the idea that all of us should work together to clean the city. Instead of leaving the task only to civic workers, we officials too can step in and clean the garbage. We did that, and the message went out to society, resulting in residents joining and supporting the initiative. This also encouraged and motivated our civic workers,” she said.
