Around 15,000 bulk generators, including hotels,
apartments and business establishments who have failed to process the
waste they generate, have been identified and the BBMP has issued
notices to them, stated Mayor N. Shanthakumari.
With
the deadline to stop dumping garbage at Mandur landfills drawing close,
she urged citizens to segregate waste at source. After chairing a
meeting with senior BBMP officials on Thursday, she told reporters that
zonal commissioners had been directed to ensure that garbage is
segregated in all wards and that is not mixed by contractors.
The BBMP is committed to
ensuring that garbage is not sent to Mandur from December 1. Already,
the quantum of waste has reduced from 1,600 tonnes per day to around 650
tonnes. Garbage is now being sent to KCDC in Kudlu, Bingipura and
Doddaballapura. New waste processing units at Doddaballapura,
Lingadeeranahalli, Doddabidarakallu, Seegehalli, Subbarayanapalya and
Kannahalli would be ready in two months.
