Mysuru: Among nearly 2500 pourakarmiaks who clean the city everyday, on Monday, due to protest from temporary civic workers demanding the government to regularise their jobs, just 643 permanent pourakarmikas reported for work.
On day one of the protest, corporation authorities with the help of permanent pourakarmikas somehow managed to clear the waste but if it continues further then they will have a tough task clearing the garbage.
Speaking to Newskarnataka, Dr. Nagaraj, Health Officer, Mysuru City Corporation said, “On day two, Tuesday, we planned to clear the garbage at secondary points that is where it is dumped. Everyday, including door to door collection, on an average 400 to 410 tonnes of garbage is collected. As of now there is no serious problem but if protest continues further, then we may need to take alternate measures.”
