MCC to rope in volunteers for property survey
To distribute PVC material QR boards to building owners
Mysuru: From tomorrow, the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) will begin its ambitious project of computing details of each and every property in city and providing Quick Response (QR) code to citizens so that they can pay tax online without coming to Corporation Offices.
The project was scheduled to begin today itself but it is delayed by a day due to the shortage of QR code stickers. “We are kick-starting this novel initiative from tomorrow (Dec. 22). Our Corporation will be the first Urban Local Body (ULB) to launch this programme in the country. The official launch of this programme will take place on Jan. 1, 2021,” MCC Commissioner Gurudatta Hegde told Star of Mysore.
Mysore/Mysuru:
Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has become the first Corporation in the entire country to undertake the surveying of properties coming under its limits and geo stamp them for effective use of online platforms for payment of taxes.
In a press release here, Gurudatta Hegde, Commissioner of MCC, has said already property owners were paying tax for the year 2020-21 through online.
To enable citizens to calculate property tax themselves, a new system is being evolved under which all properties under the ambit of Corporation would be surveyed and geo-stamped. Total size of property, floors and details would be surveyed and pictures of the property from three different angles will be captured. Then, Quick Response (QR) Code sticker would be pasted on the properties.

Mysore/Mysuru: Complaining that
Kuvempu Park and the adjacent open grounds in Gokulam II Stage have become a haven for miscreants to carry out unlawful activities, the concerned citizens of the locality have written to the MCC Commissioner Gurudatta Hegde seeking action in this regard.
Noting that the grounds has become a spot for disturbing activities such as alcohol consumption, throwing of broken glass bottles, dumping of plastic wastes, open urination and such others, the citizens have appealed the MCC Commissioner to take stern measures such as locking of Park during night-time, denying entry to miscreants during day-time and securing the entire open grounds by barbed wire fencing.
Mysore/Mysuru: The contract
UGD (Underground Drainage) workers of the MCC, who had launched an indefinite stir by striking work on Monday (Dec.14) seeking regularisation of service and payment of daily breakfast allowance, withdrew their stir on Wednesday evening after talks with the Mayor, MCC Commissioner and other officials proved fruitful.
As the stir entered the third day on Wednesday, with Karnataka State Safai Karmachari Commission Chairman M. Shivanna meeting the protesting contract UGD workers in front of the MCC Main Office on Sayyaji Rao Road in the morning, Mayor Tasneem chaired a meeting with leaders of Pourakarmika and UGD workers association at the MCC Hall later in the afternoon.
