Minister gives free dustbins for a clean city

Law Minister Suresh Kumar gives away dustbins to families in Sanegoravana Halli near Basaveshwaranagar: EPS

BANGALORE: Residents of Sanegoravana Halli near Basaveshwaranagar were in for a surprise when state Law Minister Suresh Kumar knocked on their doors to give away free dustbins.

Taking the drive to make Bangalore a garbage free city, the minister distributed two dustbins to each household to encourage segregation at source.

The minister said segregation at source will lessen the burden on the BBMP and better the Solid Waste Management.

He said wet waste could be sent to the BBMP vehicles to be converted into compost and the dry waste would be segregated in Rajajinagar.

The minister distributed dustbins to about 50 homes while a total of 800 households received free dustbins for segregation.

He also spoke to residents on the importance of segregation at source.

After this, Suresh Kumar inspected the underground drainage works being undertaken by the BWSSB in Bovi Colony.
