Over 100 youths participate in cleaning campaign; structure painted, drain de-silted
Mysore/Mysuru: The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has tweeted a set of photographs that highlighted a massive cleaning operation of the Mysuru Private Bus Stand that had become a centre for dirt and filth. The day-long campaign was launched yesterday by over 35 volunteers of Yuva Brigade Student Unit of Mysuru and over 80 students of NIE Institute of Technology.
The Bus Stand, located in the heart of the city, had become a place to dump waste both by commuters and people who came with plastic bags filled with waste from nearby residential areas. Also, the Bus Stand building had become a place for illegal activities including drinking in public places and gambling.
The cleaning campaign started at 6 am and went on till 2 pm and three truckloads of garbage including liquor bottles, plastic bags and other waste were collected and were sent to waste segregation units for processing.
A storm water drain that was covered in silt was cleaned up and smooth flow of rainwater was enabled. Due to the blockage of the drain, water used to overflow whenever it rained here, causing flooding. This apart, the bus stand was painted to give it a new look and now the portraits of national heroes and the Wadiyars of Mysuru adorn the walls.
Along with the cleaning team, Nagaraj, Padmapriya and Shivaprasad of the MCC and Ramachandra, Srinidhi and Sandeep of NIE-IT participated and gave ideas of cleaning the entire campus. Convenor of Yuva Brigade Student Unit of Mysuru Prajwal Devaramani, Adarsha, Mahantesh, Darshan, Mahendra, Rudresh, Manju and Subramanya were present. Well-wishers Murali and Ganesh supplied paints and whitewash and Naveen sponsored food for all the cleaning volunteers.
So the new MCC acquired “Bandicoot” was missing in cleaning the drain – how funny
Really appreciate the volunteers, good job
At least one of my Mysore place became clean for some days.
MCC should learn to maintain places with fines
Because our people understand only fine language
It is the duty of the MCC to keep the city clean. Instead the youths have shown, how a organised and team work can create miracle. Our MCC people are thick skinned and least bothered about the cleanliness of the city. But they need clean city tag. Shameless officials and the elected representatives
Mysore as a clean city in India need to improve it’s cleanliness and the job done by the students and rests are appreciable.. Not only mysore all the districts of karnataka and states of India is in need like the particular students who work selfless.. Mysore is always best city throughout the country🇮🇳❤
Can this Yuva brigade clean the filthy dirty politics and government of Karnataka?
No city is clean in India. The degree of filthiness is what Indians have to measure. In every city in India, including Mysuru, one can see people standing and urinating in any empty space near the pavement, defecating at the side of the pavement, spitting with loads of sputum on the pavement etc.. If one somehow didges the above filthy, one is encountered by hostile stray dogs baring their teeth, ready to bite and transfer rabies.
Yet with all the above, your PM Modi says: ” technology is a way of life in India”! He must be in a delirium, the fool.
Indians by nature create filth. They have done this in swaths of places near Sydney going there to study they said, but in reality to get jobs, and not succeeding. The newest filthy expedition by Indians is in Auckland, where the so called Indian students went to study, but dropped out of university, and now live in the city’s perimeter in a filthy commune.

Agree. There is no better example of the filthy India than the holy Ganga, which is made literally a swamp by letting the sewage effluents of the Varanasi into it! This filthy Ganga water is bottled and sold all over the world!
The so called initiatives taken so far to clean up this holy river,have amounted to not much.
This Ganga at its prominent incarnation is in Varanasi, the constituency of PM Modi.
Yes, no city in India is clean. Mysore is only relatively clean because of less population compared to metro cities. Mysoreans are no different from people in other cities in India when it comes to public cleanliness. One just needs to look at vacant sites, transformers poles or the ring road to realize whether Mysore is really clean or not. People litter every where – be it Chamundi Hill, parks, lakes or cinema halls.
This could be the answer to many of the comments in SOM on many of the captions. Sitting and complaining won’t help. Sadguru beautifully answered this question. If we have any sense of shame we should at least start thinking instead of cribbing to look good. Otherwise we have no moral rights to complain

May be that’s the reason one is advised to drink the holy water at the time of death so that it expedites the end soon and ensures no turning back
On a serious note, the most corrupt and inefficient MCC and MUDA need to compensate those who do their work like cleaning the roads and places, filling potholes, cutting trees etc.
Even though I appreciate the youths who took the initiative to clean up the mess some irresponsible people created, I urge those who are irresponsible should be held accountable at least in the future.
