The BBMP will upgrade two waste processing units at Bagalur and Mitiganahalli in the city.
BBMP special commissioner (solid waste management) Subodh Yadav said on Wednesday that at present waste was not being processed at these units. The processing plants will be developed under the guidance of the expert committee and the Indian Institute of Science. The units will be operational only after an inspection by the expert committee.
Yadav said the construction work is in progress. He also allayed fears about any inconvenience that the plants can cause. He said section 144 of the CrPC has been imposed around the waste processing units to ensure the upgrading work goes on smoothly.
