Mangaluru has been shortlisted for special felicitation in the category of cities with a population between 3 lakh and 10 lakh, MCC sources said.
The competition, held under the Swachh Bharath Abhiyan campaign, saw more than 1,850 city and local bodies taking part in it. The award is given to cities striving to realise the idea of a waste-free environment.
