Dumping your trash slyly on Ring Road?: 75 CCTV cameras to watch you, catch you
February 19, 2021
Mysore/Mysuru: To give some muscle to the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) to stop people from dumping garbage on the
Outer Ring Road, CCTV cameras will be installed all along the 43.5 km stretch. Officials say that digital surveillance instils fear among those who are throwing garbage illegally. They say that the initiative will be of help in identifying those who are dumping waste, be it the local residents, villagers or commercial establishments.
Over 75 CCTV cameras will be installed along the road at various vantage points for surveillance and action. This was decided at a meeting of Gram Panchayats along the road, MCC, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) officials at Zilla Panchayat Hall on Monday. The meeting, also attended by Panchayat Development Officers (PDOs) was chaired by MP Pratap Simha.
Local villages allowed to dump garbage at sewage farm
Exasperated by the relentless dumping of garbage along the Outer Ring Road (ORR) despite efforts to spruce it up, the authorities on Tuesday fixed the onus on the Panchayat Development Officers (PDO) to ensure that the road remains clean.
At a stakeholders meeting, Mysuru MP Pratap Simha said that the ORR alignment abuts a few village panchayat limits and the garbage from these places are dumped along the roads at night. Hence the PDOs of the respective villages will be held responsible and penalised for any garbage dumping that takes place along the ORR stretch coming within their jurisdiction.
