Civic amenities Bangalore BBMP Waste Management Garbage Complaint Cleanliness
7am in the morning i just happen to go for a walk and all I end up feeling is that this city which I have fallen in love with over the past 2 years is 1 huge trash can! Depressed at that thought and thinking what we at praja can do about it...it just happens that 1 gentleman throws an empty cigarette box on the road right in front of me.
I gather some courage to go upto him and point out that it would be great if he could pick it up and throw it in a dust bin.
Immediately, he retorts back by saying that there are no absolutely no dustbins around.
Dejected, i walk away....
But i have a few questions in my mind.....
1. Do we have a functioning waste management system at all?
2. Who are the guys from whom we can ask questions?
3. What is it that we can do?
Pranav pointed out that the biggest election issue that came on the top was "Clean Bangalore". Well thats a surprise :D

Hello BBMP Personnels,
It is our humble request that we are suffering from improper waste management system by BBMP at main area of 3rd Cross, 4th main, Matadahalli, RT Nagar, Bangalore 32.
Are there any monitoring committe for this waste management implementation scheme in BBMP, before we claim ourselves that Bangalore is Clean City, SWACCHA BENGALURU/ CLEAN CITY and so on...
Can you ask them to visit this location then they can realise it. This issue is there not a day or two, it is there for more than a year, after sending many level of escalation no response.
Mayor Sir,
we have sent more than 10 to 15 emails with photos, complaint letter, shared the news to magazine and also to you and your team including health deapartment.
No reponse and no improvement. How long this will continue?
Please respond it. After seeing the following points you may need to change our claims about clean city..
1. This garabage dumped location is used by surrounding school children to board their school Van/bus and playing location
2. Within a meter distance, it has Drinking water diversion box on the ground (Have seen many time that Sewage board person, removed the garbage from the top cover before he wants to open it and divert the flow direction.
3. Within 15 meters A clinic located
4. All sides are covered with houses.
Please have a look at this matter seriously and do the immediate action of moving out this point to somewhere else.
With Regards

Dust bins are required, atleast to prevent littering. Please note that Littering in European Countries and US are banned in public places with heavy fines, but in India, they are normal routine. And these countries have ample no. of dustbins at regular intervals which are cleaned frequently as well.
