After Bengaluru, Mysuru launches drive against abandoned vehicles
The Mysuru City Corporation has announced a drive to remove abandoned and unclaimed vehicles from public spaces by August 15. Owners who fail to comply will face towing, penalties, and potential auctioning of their vehicles under the Motor Vehicles Act.
Why it matters
This initiative addresses urban congestion, public safety, and sanitation issues caused by neglected infrastructure.
Taking a cue from the Greater Bengaluru Authority’s recent crackdown, the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is set to launch a city-wide drive to clear abandoned, unclaimed and unused vehicles parked on roads, footpaths and other public places.
The corporation has given vehicle owners time till August 15 to voluntarily remove such vehicles, failing which they will be towed away from August 16 onwards.
In a public notification issued on Tuesday (August 4), the MCC said several vehicles have been lying unattended for prolonged periods on public roads, pavements, road margins and other public places. Such vehicles have become a hindrance to the smooth movement of pedestrians and traffic, besides posing safety risks, obstructing waste collection, serving as breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other disease-causing vectors, and affecting the city’s cleanliness and aesthetic appeal.
