Mysore/Mysuru: The move to upgrade the existing Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) to a Greater Mysuru (Bruhat Mysuru Mahanagara Palike) on the lines of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) received a jolt as the Congress Corporators of the MCC opposed it.
At the MCC Suggestion Committee meeting held yesterday, the Congress Corporators staged a walkout opposing any move to form Greater Mysuru. In 2012-13, a proposal was mooted for formation of Greater Mysuru by bringing 110 villages into Corporation limits and in October 2017, the MCC had carried out a survey in 44 villages around the city. Presently, MCC’s jurisdiction is restricted to a 128.4 sq km area falling within the Outer Ring Road (ORR). Several new residential Layouts approved by Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) fall outside MCC’s limits.
