Mysuru: The Swachh Survekshan 2019 results announced by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban affairs yesterday put Mysuru in the third position, far better than the last year’s eighth Cleanest City in India. Bengaluru is in 194th rank, a tad better than its 216th position in 2018.
In fact, Mysuru is among only three cities which qualified for a 5-star rating under a new garbage-free certification protocol introduced under Swachh Survekshan 2019. The other cities are Indore in Madhya Pradesh and Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh. The rating is for one year. Though 4,237 urban local bodies were surveyed, none qualified for highest 7-star rating.
