The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is bracing to cope with excessive rains and the consequent damage that could arise during the ensuing monsoon season and additional vehicles and machinery will be inducted to shore up its capacity to handle civic works.
Mayor Sunanda Palanetra conducted a meeting with the MCC officials on Friday and instructed them to identify low-lying areas and other places that are prone to be inundated and take up clearing of storm water drains on a war footing. There was maximum complaints about UGD and stormwater drain clogging from N.R. Mohalla and Agrahara and hence, the blocked UGD pipelines are being cleared while the damaged ones are being replaced.
