If Saadat Hasan Manto, writer, playwright and author born in Ludhiana during the British Raj became famous with his Urdu short story “Boo” that means “Smell”, a quiet locality in Mysuru is becoming famous or rather infamous or call it notorious for its “Smell” — a horrible meat waste stench.
The smell is due to the unscientific burial of meat waste that is generated in city. The carcasses are buried or discarded at the place resulting in unbearable smell that permeates the entire locality. The putrefaction smell is so bad that residents have to move around and be within their houses with their noses closed with perfumed handkerchiefs.
