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.
