Garbage woes return to Bangalore
It’s
been over two weeks since the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP)
officially commenced the segregation of waste at source but piles of
garbage around the city seem to be growing in size and number.
The program, run by the BBMP, requires segregation of waste at the source. It has seen cooperation in some areas but as yet, it has largely been a failure. The BBMP commissioner has highlighted two main reasons for this—people being cold to waste segregation and poor collection methods.
One can get a complete idea of the intensity of the problem by visiting the shopping hubs of KR Market or Malleswaram 8th Cross and the big heaps of garbage on the roadside that welcome people.
Posh areas like Jayanagar are no exception to garbage heaps. The city has not learned the importance of segregation.
