The Supreme Court order dismissing the petition filed by some garbage
contractors has come as a relief for the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara
Palike (BBMP) that is in the process of taking up a number of measures
to tackle the garbage crisis in the city.

The SC order on
Thursday, according to officers, will enable new garbage contractors who
were allotted 51 packages in nearly 100 wards, to continue clearing
garbage from these wards. The BBMP had also recently invited tenders for
the remaining 41 packages and can now go ahead with the process of
allotting contracts.
