Mysuru: The indefinite strike by Pourakarmikas of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has caused a complete breakdown of garbage clearance and sanitation services in many areas. This morning, roads and central verges in popular markets and commercial areas including D. Devaraja Urs Road, Sayyaji Rao Road, K.R. Circle, Chamaraja Circle, Shivarampet Road, Dhanvanthri Road and surrounding areas were reeking of garbage that had accumulated over three days.
To make matters worse, striking Pourakarmikas poured garbage and muck on the main roads to express their anger and some MCC officials — from the top to bottom level — were forced to pick up brooms and clean the streets, covering their noses.
