‘Namma Mysuru Swachha Mysuru' clean-up drive on June 14
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Mysuru chapter, in collaboration with Mysuru City Corporation and Young Indians, will lead an environmental clean-up drive on June 14, to mark World Environment Day. Under the theme 'Namma Mysuru, Swachha Mysuru,' the initiative aims to promote sustainability, restore ecosystems, and highlight the urgent issue of plastic pollution across India. The clean-up will be conducted from 7.00 a.m. to 9.00 a.m. along the Outer Ring Road, followed by an awareness session at Maharaja's College Grounds from 10.00 a.m. to 10.30 a.m. The session will gather environmentalists, educators, industry leaders, and students to discuss sustainable urban practices. 'India produces over 3 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, much of it unmanaged and polluting public spaces. Despite Mysuru's reputation for cleanliness, rapid urbanisation continues to strain waste systems. This campaign goes beyond cleaning—it aims to reshape public behavior on consumption and disposal,' the organisers said. The session will address reducing single-use plastics, encouraging recycling, and advocating for policies supporting a circular economy. Aligned with India's climate goals under the Paris Agreement and SDGs, the drive highlights the need for local ecological balance amid climate impacts on health, agriculture, and weather. Mysuru, with its ecological legacy, plays a vital role in local climate action, it added. Environmental change starts with a collective effort. This World Environment Day, CII Mysuru urges Mysureans to join hands not just to clean, but to restore the city and protect its future, the release said. CII Mysuru has invited institutions, industry bodies, NGOs, and citizens to participate and commit to sustainable practices. Volunteers will be provided with safety guidelines and clean-up tools. All waste will be properly segregated and recycled, the organisers said. For details, participants can contact Kiran M.K. on 9844785965 or email kiran.m.k@

Dasara executive panel delays in presenting expenditure report
Mysuru: Even seven months after the conclusion of the Dasara festival, the Dasara Executive Committee has failed to present the Dasara expenditure details, raising questions among the public. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to Mysureans, for the first time, the district administration is taking such a long time to release the details. The Dasara festival was held between Oct 3 and 12, 2024. Following good rainfall in the 2024 monsoon season, state govt announced a grand celebration. The state govt allotted Rs 40 crore for this annual celebration. The district administration also roped in several corporate companies, besides charging the entry fee for Yuva Dasara. Now, even though preparations for the next Dasara have started, the Dasara Executive Committee is yet to share the details. Even though the district minister HC Mahadevappa, who heads the panel, assured the release of the Dasara expenditure details at the earliest, it is still not released. City residents are alleging that this delay has raised several suspicions. "All these years, at least for eye wash, the expenses details were released in a month or two. But this year, the Dasara Executive Committee failed to adhere to the custom. It is strange that the district administration is taking such a long time to release the details," alleges Prabhat S Sulvekar, a city resident. According to BJP MLC AH Vishwanath, it is impossible to force the govt to release the details. "They are saying they will not release it. What can we do?" he questioned. KPCC spokesperson M Lakshmana said he has no idea why the executive committee has not released the expenses details. "I am also demanding the district administration to release the expenses details at the earliest. It will solve all the doubts," he said.
