  "account": "The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) launched a campaign to issue notices to 382 abandoned or unused vehicles parked on roads, footpaths, and public spaces for an extended period. The MCC conducted a survey and identified the total number of such vehicles within its jurisdiction. On August 25, MCC Commissioner M.K. Savitha affixed the notices during the drive to remove these vehicles. Parking such vehicles obstructs public movement, harms the city's cleanliness and aesthetics, and poses risks of becoming waste dumping grounds, facilitating illegal activities, and breeding disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes. The MCC directed owners to remove the vehicles within seven days; otherwise, they will be considered abandoned and towed away as per the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976, and MCC bye-laws. The cost of removal will be recovered from the owners, with options for auction or scrapping if necessary. The Commissioner appealed to vehicle owners to voluntarily remove their vehicles within the given timeframe and cooperate with the civic body to prevent further actions. The MCC's Environment Engineer, environmental engineers, health inspectors, and supervisors were present during the program.",
