Residents stall dumping of additional garbage in Mandur
Residents of Mandur on Monday night prevented hundreds of garbage-laden trucks from entering the landfill by locking the gates. Their contention was that though the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike had assured them that 150 to 200 trucks of garbage would be dumped each day in the landfill, in the past few days more than the promised number of trucks of garbage was being sent there. According to Thammanna C. Gowda, a Mandur resident, BBMP officials had told the residents that 150 to 200 garbage-laden trucks would be sent to Mandur each day. A senior BBMP official explained that trucks from some designated zones are allowed to dump garbage at the landfill in Mandur. “We have told people living around the landfill that we will ensure that not more than 200 garbage-laden trucks will be sent to Mandur.” According to an official, residents living near the landfill in Mandur had demanded that the village be developed if they have to allow dumping of garbage there.
