Mysuru: The whole of Mysuru is sulking because it has lost the cleanest city top tag in the country in the Swachh Survekshan 2017. Some people are taking vicarious pleasure because of the city slipping into the fifth place while a few are relieved that it did not score a hat-trick as the city fathers and the bureaucrats would have become more complacent if the top spot was retained.
The post-mortem has begun in right earnest with the Mayor M.J. Ravikumar and Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner G. Jagadeesha, who were waiting with bated breath for the announcement of the result in Delhi where they had gone as invitees to receive the top award in anticipation. However, their expectations were belied and they had to be contended with the fifth place.
