The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has decided to make segregation of garbage (wet and dry) compulsory for large structures.
At a meeting held earlier this week, the Palike decided that marriage halls, apartments and institutions will be forced to have waste segregation at the source. The rules may be brought into effect within the next week.
The BBMP will penalise the citizens who do not comply with the rules as per the Karnataka Municipal Corporation Act (KMC), 1972.
Further, the Palike has also decided to place a Rs one lakh revolving fund with the ward-level engineers in association with the Resident Welfare Associations for the disposal of garbage in their areas.
