Welcome to garbagopolis

The Hindu  

Bangalore’s international status as India’s first city-of-the-future — the site of a burgeoning IT industry, and a centre of cutting-edge technology and science — is, literally, sinking beneath a sea of garbage. The crisis that hit the city a few weeks ago — when garbage contractors had nowhere to dump the lorry-loads they used to offload into a landfill on the outskirts of the city because angry village residents living nearby said No More — resulted in an invasion of trash onto pavements, streets and water bodies. Of the 595 lorries that ferry trash, 490 belong to private contractors who routinely violate the terms of their contract under the Municipal Solid Waste Rules, 2000. The garbage crisis has revealed the dark underbelly of Bangalore’s growth story, and is a negative lesson in at least one aspect of planned urbanisation, namely, of post-facto civic intervention.
