‘This will help clear accumulated garbage from dumping sites and also black spots’
The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) on Monday launched a mega cleanliness drive ahead of Dasara. The MCC deployed nearly 150 vehicles that will be operational till October 6 while additional civic workers have been roped in for the festival period.
“These vehicles belong to contractors who have taken up various works of the MCC and have lent it to the corporation for three days for free. This will help clear accumulated garbage from various dumping sites and also the black spots,” said D.G. Nagaraj, Health Officer, MCC.
The vehicles deployed are in addition to the civic body’s own fleet of tippers and trucks used for door-to-door collection of garbage. The vehicles provided by the contractors will be deployed to clear the main tourist spots and important commercial streets, said Dr. Nagaraj. In addition, the black spots along the Outer Ring Road will also be cleared using these machinery, he added.
