The MCC on Wednesday announced Swacchata ambassadors for Mysuru, who will influence the public and urge them to take pride in their city, take initiatives to keep the city clean, segregate waste at source, launch drives etc. Mruthyunjaya, Assistant Executive Engineer, MCC, and the nodal officer for implementing Swachh Bharat mission, later told The Hindu that the city used to lose out in legacy waste management all these years.
