₹2.5 crore to be spent in all 65 wards for the work
The Mysuru City Corporation has come up with a novel plan of turning garbage dumping sites across the city into ‘functional’ areas with the primary aim of stopping indiscriminate dumping of solid wastes that marred the city’s beauty and hygiene standards.
So far, the MCC has identified over 70 garbage dumping sites across 65 wards here which will emerge as useful areas for the local population besides sending out a strong message to the community on the issue.
Each ward has around 7 to 8 such sites and the MCC has proposed to spend about ₹2.5 crore on the project with each ward getting a grant of about ₹30 lakh.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
