BBMP circular on bio-waste disposal
Bangalore, Nov 17, DHNS
In view of Bakrid festival, the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has issued a circular for safe disposal of bio-waste on November 18 and 19.
The Palike has asked the BBMP zonal offices along with health inspectors and environment engineers to identify sensitive areas where sacrifices will be made.
Further, it has been stated that announcements will be made at all mosques and idgahs that the bio-waste should not be disposed of indiscriminately, but to be packed in plastic bags and disposed in specific BBMP containers placed in the area.
Sufficient containers
The circular has also directed the environment engineers to provide sufficient containers for dumping the extra bio-waste and extra trips of garbage disposal vans to avoid the stray dog menace.
The BBMP has warned its officials of surprise inspections on the following days in the various areas in the City to avoid mismanagement of the waste disposal.
