Despite Yadavagiri Industrial Estate being part of Mysuru city, tonnes of waste generated in industries and households in and around the KSSIDC-developed estate remain unhandled, turning the place into an ugly spot in ‘Swachch Mysuru’, besides posing a public health scare. However, a senior industry representative here claimed that the Yadavagiri estate was handed over to the MCC long ago and the industrial units had been paying tax to it. The solid wastes were also set on fire, leaving the vicinity in smoke. Mysore Industries Association (MIA) General Secretary Suresh Kumar Jain said the Yadavagiri estate, spread across 12 acres, was developed by the Karnataka Small Scale Industries Development Corporation (KSSIDC). The industrial estate is under KSSIDC.
