Summary:
In order to prevent people from dumping garbage at vacant sites, members of the NGO decided to turn them into stakeholders. In a bid to make things easier, the NGO has urged both the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and Mysuru Urban Development Authority (Muda) to allow neighbours to transform vacant plots into kitchen gardens President of Tree Lovers Club Mandetira Subramani, a retired non-commissioner officer from the accounts branch of the Indian Air Force, said, “There are plenty of vacant sites in Mysuru. “It will be quite a task to compile a list of the owners, and subsequently take their permission to cultivate a kitchen garden. Subramani also added that it was important to obtain prior permission from the property owners before they could start planting saplings. “The MGP will join the Tree Lovers Club to support this initiative,” Kharidi said.Founder of Parisara Samrakshana Samithi Bhanu Mohan said that, once the consent of the site owners was obtained, there would be no hurdles to proceeding with this initiative..
