- | Sunday | 15th January, 2017
Mysuru: While Mysuru city has been declared the first city in the country to be rid of open defecation , the district stands 17th place in the state in cleanliness, hygiene and sanitation. CEO Shivashankar said the ZP has set a target to make all Hunsur taluks 100 cent open defecation free by March-end. "We have intensified the programme in Periyapatna taluk, but as there is a shortage of officers, we're concentrating on Hunsur taluk. "In my constituency, there's been a success rate of 80 per cent in Mattikyathanahalli, 50 per cent in Beerihundi and Gopalapura and other villages. "There is a cultural problem in making the programme a success.
