Cleanliness drive in Bengaluru: BBMP collects 3,570 tonnes of waste in two days
Bengaluru: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), which is organizing a 10-day cleanliness drive from April 21 to 30, collected up to 3,570 tonnes of waste as well as construction debris from 458 sites in the state capital in two days.
The campaign is being held in all eight BBMP zones. The BBMP has identified 1,533 locations where various types of waste, from construction and demolition debris to roadside logs and garbage, have accumulated, according to a report in The Hindu.
Zonal commissioners are overseeing the operations of the Bangalore Solid Waste Management Limited (BSWML) personnel, who are working at clearing the sites of waste. In addition, more than 13 earthmovers, 10 tippers, 60 tractors and 170 personnel have been deployed for the work.
Thirty per cent of the identified sites are learned to have been cleared of the waste so far.
The BBMP has urged citizens of Bengaluru to not dump waste in public areas but hand it over to the door-to-door auto tippers of the BBMP. The authorities, further, have asked citizens who find illegal dumping to report it to the BBMP on the helpline number 1533 or Sahay 2.0 mobile phone app.
