BBMP health committee gets down to work

Taking cognizance of the sloppy clearance of garbage in various localities, the committee has decided to call for new tenders. Manjunath Reddy, committee chairman, said that they would also ensure the safety of the labourers working as garbage collectors. The committee observed that garbage, specifically in Neelsandra,

was not being collected properly, and the area contractor had subleased the collection of garbage in the area.

The committee members opined that five per cent of the billing amount should be reduced, if the BBMP found the contractors’ work to be unsatisfactory.

In addition to this, the Hyderbadi Biryani House near Victoria Layout was issued a notice for serving food to the public under unhygienic conditions.

Even the Karnataka Meat and Poultry Corporation was directed to shut down owing to unhygienic conditions.
