Note Summary:

 In 2015, the government had set up six solid waste management units with a grant of ₹468 crore to adequately handle the collection, transportation, handling and disposal of solid waste under BBMP. These have become inactive in recent years due to improper management and the corporation has been unscientifically dumping solid waste at selected sites for Land fills. Solid waste management has worsened due to measures taken to set up waste centers on roadsides and under flyovers.

The Corporation has spent ₹1,100 crore on unproductive measures without complying with the National Green Tribunal and Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. Such unscientific actions of the corporation are projects that harm city traffic and public health and environment.

 Meanwhile, new programs under 'Shubhra Bangalore' action plan have been formulated by the state-owned BSWML organization established in 2021 for smooth collection, transportation and management of solid waste in Bangalore city limits. An advance of ₹13.45 crore was paid to Parishuddha Ventures, which had submitted a bank guarantee document against the norms and against the instructions of the government. Through this, the organization is misusing government funds without following the orders, instructions and rules of the government. Ramesh has brought these to attention. The Chief Minister has suggested that a report should be submitted on the mentioned points.

The hand of politicians!

 Politicians have a hand in the tender and contract of the three big transfer stations that BSWML was going to set up. There is a possibility of misappropriating hundreds of crores. Many crores have already been misappropriated. Action should be taken against the politicians and officials involved in this. The Additional Chief Secretary of the Urban Development Department should conduct an impartial investigation, former member of the Legislative Council. P.R. Ramesh demanded.
