The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has announced that each ward will be ranked based on waste segregation levels. The BBMP Special Commissioner (solid waste management), D Randeep has reportedly directed the officials to do a weekly review of all solid waste management activities and report to the head office.
Following Bengaluru’s poor performance in the Swacch Survekshan, the city has sprung into action. All assistant executive engineers (AEE) have been directed to speed up the work of GPS installation on autos/compactors. Thirty-five zero segregation wards were pulled up and an action plan is sought from AEEs to improve. Out of 35 wards where segregation was not enforced, 18 wards fall under the East zone followed by the South zone with seven wards.
The BBMP has started an intense campaign to promote segregation, highly publicized via social media and other publicity initiatives.
