Clean-up drive targets garbage hotspots, open-urination spots in Mysuru
The Mysuru City Corporation has launched a cleanliness drive under the 'Swachhata Hi Seva' campaign to eliminate garbage hotspots and open-urination sites. The initiative emphasizes sustainable interventions and public responsibility to maintain urban hygiene.
Why it matters
This reflects ongoing urban development and public health efforts in Indian cities to improve sanitation infrastructure.
The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) on Thursday launched a cleanliness drive along the Outer Ring Road and inspected the transformation of a spot near the Lansdowne Building, where open urination had been a recurring problem, as part of the Centre-sponsored ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ campaign.
The campaign focuses on clearing roadside waste and transforming garbage-vulnerable and other sanitation-sensitive spots through permanent measures.
MCC Commissioner M.K. Savita began an inspection of the Outer Ring Road from the Hinkal flyover at 7 a.m. Later, she formally flagged off the cleanliness drive near the Kesare Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). MCC officials, staff, pourakarmikas and other teams participated in the drive.
The Commissioner subsequently visited a Garbage Vulnerable Point (GVP) at Vidyashankara Nagar and reviewed the measures taken to transform the spot into a garbage-free area through sustainable interventions.
