The mounting garbage in the city and the increasing public protests has Bengaluru’s BBMP in a fix. A report in Deccan Herald states that the BBMP has still not been able to clear the garbage that piled up during Dasara, with Diwali just around the corner.
Public protests at the landfill site at S Bingipura forced the BBMP to dump less garbage there. The new Development Minister of the city, KJ George, has requested people protesting at Doddaballapur landfill sites to stop but they have not relented.
Mayor BN Manjunath Reddy and the city’s Urban district in-charge minister Ramalinga Reddy had stated that they would solve the garbage issue after Dasara but they haven’t been able to.
The city generates 4000 tonnes of waste a day and now the BBMP is looking at a ban on plastic to reduce some of the burden. At present, there are seven waste processing units in the city but not all the garbage being sent there, states the report. Since the garbage is being sent to landfill sites instead, the city’s garbage woes are unending.
