Garbage segregation plan in a mess |

Bangalore, Nov 19, DHNS |

Barely a week after the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) launched
Garbage Segregation at Source (GSS) at its head office with the help of Solid
Waste Management Round Table (SWMRT), the programme has gone haywire.
|

BBMP Commissioner Siddaiah had launched GSS on the Palike
premises on November 12 with pomp and show. On the insistence of SWMRT, six
garbage bins were installed at the BBMP head office for segregation purposes.
These bins were categorised for plastic covers, plastic bottles, plastic
cups, papers, thermocol and cardboard. Siddaiah called it a major step by the
BBMP for others to emulate. However, on Friday, leftover food was dumped in
the plastic cover bin while the paper bin had turned into a container of
plastic covers, bottles and plastic cups. |
