As part of 75th year of Independence celebrations
A slew of sanitation and waste management programmes will be held across the district till August 2022 as part of the 75th year of Independence celebrations, District Collector Afsana Parveen has said.
After a discussion with local body heads, including Mayor Prasanna Earnest, here on Tuesday, she said public places, waterbodies and drains would be cleaned with public participation. “Cleaning of schools will be a priority and vector-borne diseases will be controlled by processing biodegradable waste at source,” she said.
The district administration will conduct a survey to assess the need for waste-processing systems at households, institutions and at the community level.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
