Mysuru: As the conciliatory talks with Mysuru District Minister G.T. Devegowda and Tourism Minister S.R. Mahesh failed to break the ice yesterday, Pourakarmikas continued their indefinite agitation for the fourth day this morning in front of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) office. Pourakarmikas are staging protest urging the State Government to fulfil various demands including regularisation of services, abolition of contract system and free breakfast. Meanwhile, the city continues to stink as mounds of garbage are accumulating on almost all the streets. The worst affected are the areas in Central Business District such as D. Devaraja Urs Road, Sayyaji Rao Road, K.R. Circle, Chamaraja Circle, Shivarampet Road and Dhanvanthri Road. Residential areas also bore the brunt of the strike with no garbage collectors going door- to-door to collect waste. Due to this, residents were seen carrying muck-filled plastic bags and dumping them in the already-stinking garbage bins.
