Madikeri recorded a 25% drop in waste generated during this year’s Dasara, with municipal officials attributing the reduction partly to the city’s ban on the sale and use of plastic bottles below two litres.

The cleanup operation was completed in one and a half days, compared with five days last year, according to Madikeri city municipal commissioner Ramesh.
