Clean up dirty streets in city
To top it all, the garbage supply was contaminated with remnants of perishable food such as meat, dairy products and eggs. Residents, time and again, appealed to the authorities for an effective waste disposal system but the pleas have apparently fallen on deaf ears.
However, the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) clarifies: The Assistant Executive Engineer of Shivajinagar sub-division has visited the ward and submitted a detailed report stating the issues faced by people here. The garbage from push carts and auto tippers, and from various roads and crossroads of this ward, is being brought to the Memorial street and loaded onto the trucks for disposal.
After clearing the pile of trash, some of the residents resort to dumping waste on streets which not only poses a serious threat to health but messes up the roads.
Strict measures will be taken in order to ensure cleanliness in the ward hereafter.
