What’s the best way to get rid of Bangalore’s stink? No need to look elsewhere, we have some of the best methods here in the city, say civic experts.
Then why is the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) sending 10 corporators and officers to study the waste management in Mumbai?
“There are so many good examples of efficient garbage disposal right here in the city. Why go to Mumbai,” asks civic expert V Ravichandar.
He cites Brigade apartment in Malleshwaram, Home Guards, HQ, Malleshwaram Market, City Market and Bangalore Club as good examples of waste disposal system. Segregation at the source is the starting point, he says. “After segregation, proper disposal is required. The government requires the will to execute the plan,” says Ravichandar.
Headed by deputy mayor N Dayanand, the BBMP team will study the pilot project on solid waste management implemented by the Bruhat Mumbai Mahanagara Palike.
According to sources, the Palike will pay Rs12,000 to each member for the visit and Rs2,000 a day as room rent.
Solid Waste Management Round Table organisation member and civic expert NS Ramakanth terms the visit as a waste of time and money. “Every day, we are converting tonnes of waste into renewed material. These members can learn from us,” he says.
ABIDe Tast Force member Dr Ashwin Mahesh says segregation at the source is important. “We have to separate the dry and the solid waste so that the waste can be reused for other purpose. The problem here is that nobody is bothered to segregate. So the waste cannot be utilised for any other purpose,” he says.
“The city garbage is dumped in a landfill situated in the outskirts in a village like Mavallipura. It looks as if the government is favouring the people in the city and is being unfair to the villagers. The state government should pay money for the villagers for utilising their land for dumping the garbage,” he says.
Katyayani Chamraj, executive trustee, CIVIC, says that the BBMP is not abiding by the Municipal Solid Wastes rules drafted by the ministry of environment and forests.
