BBMP suspends work on
Air Force Station
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has suspended work of converting
Mavallipura landfill into a open cremation ground for covid-19 victims. The civic body changed its stance after the plan faced strong opposition from various quarters including a request from the Air Force Station. There was also a petition filed in the
High Court against using the landfill as
crematorium.
“We have dropped the plan,” Sarfaraz Khan,
Joint Commissioner of BBMP said. “No new crematoriums will be added as the existing ones are sufficient in number.”
