Mysuru: Hundreds of Pourakarmikas, who sweep our streets and lift garbage from our homes, came in for immense praise yesterday where speakers complimented them for their selfless service that has made Mysuru grab the Numero Uno position in Swachh Bharat Rankings in the Medium Cities category.
Addressing a press conference at the Old Council Hall of the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) yesterday, Mayor B. Bhagyavathi, who received the award from Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Indore on Sunday, said that it is a matter of pride that the city has bagged the top position though it slipped to the eighth position in the Cleanest City category (above 10 lakh population). She attributed the success to the Pourakarmikas.
