Questions raised over MCC Commissioner’s transfer amid Swachh Survekshan
The Hindu
The recent transfer of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner Gurudutt Hegde has raised questions over the appropriateness of the move in the midst of the ongoing Swachh Survekshan 2021 through which Mysuru is making efforts to reclaim its cleanest city tag.
The MCC under Mr. Hegde’s leadership had taken up a series of programmes including a garbage clearance drive along the Outer Ring Road, identifying black spots in parts of the city and removing the waste, penalising people for littering, roping in artists for wall painting, and taking steps to set up a Construction and Demolition waste recycling plant, besides laying emphasis on securing citizens’ feedback.
