volunteers (
Suchi Mitras) who will accompany auto tippers and ensure that garbage is segregated at source, collected and transferred properly to ensure cleanliness in 4,200
blocks in Bengaluru
It has been said time and again that there is only one solution to garbage
segregation and that is citizen engagement. Taking this a step further, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (
BBMP) has decided to revive the concept of Suchi Mitras or cleanliness volunteers for 4,200 blocks in the city. This is to ensure better segregation of waste at the block and
ward level and prevent blackspots from appearing in street corners and along boundary walls of houses.

KCDC composting plant near
HSR Layout conked off some months ago, spreading an unbearable stink in the area around it
Residents of Kudlu, Harlur, Harlakunte, Somasunderpalya, Parangipalya, and a few localities in HSR Layout have a smelly neighbour – the
