Bengaluru: For the 5th time, BBMP has sent 'Nenapole' to treat the solid waste generated in the Jnanabharati campus and student hostels of Bangalore University.

Since Jnanabharati falls under the scope of 'massive waste generator', the University has been informed through notices and letters from April 2021 to comply with the 'duties of massive waste generators' and solid waste management bye-laws in government orders and circulars. Following this, BBMP has stopped collection of solid waste from Jnanabharati premises from January 2023. Therefore, waste is being set on fire in the premises of the university.

Waste is being illegally dumped and set on fire in the premises of Jnanabharati. This should be controlled' said Santosh Maruru in a letter to the Joint Commissioner of Rajarajeswarinagar Zone of BBMP.

"Jnanabharati should perform the duties of the huge waste generators. Solid waste treatment and disposal are included in the category. On February 28, BBMP sent a 5th letter to Bengaluru Chancellor saying that they should inform Santosh and BBMP who have filed a complaint.

"We will set up a waste treatment unit in Bangalore University campus," everyone including the chancellor of the university says when there is a case like a fire or a fire in waste. The local opinion is that they will be forgotten later. Recently, the State Pollution Control Board has also issued a notice to Bangalore Jnanabharati University that action should be taken within 15 days regarding waste management.

Garbage is being thrown everywhere near the student halls. Students are not aware of waste. Even professors don't care about cleanliness. They are setting fire there. The waste generated in this premises should be sorted and processed by the university itself. Not doing that either. They say someone else litters. Gowdaiah, secretary of Jnanabharati Vayuviharis Association, demanded that they should first process their garbage and set an example.
