Mysore/Mysuru, July 28 -- Mysuru may have clinched third place in the Super Swachh League under Swachh Survekshan 2024-25 in the 3-10 lakh population category, but residents say the reality on the ground paints a very different picture.

While the city basks in the glory of being listed among India's cleanest, local residents are questioning the Mysuru City Corporation's (MCC) commitment to waste management.

Their grievance: MCC's own garbage collection staff are dumping trash on roadsides, vacant plots, and areas already choked with construction and demolition (C&D) debris.

"If MCC workers themselves flout basic waste disposal norms, what is the point of collecting wet and dry waste separately from our homes?" residents asked.
