Interview : B N Vijay Kumar, MLA, Jayanagar
Last Updated 16 April 2016, 20:07 IST

What are the key challenges in the constituency?

Garbage remains the main problem. We know segregation and door-to-door waste collection, but we have not found any solution to the end disposal of garbage.
This is happening despite the fact that more than 40% families are seriously segregating waste at source.

Is there any attempt to sabotage scientific disposal of waste?

There was a mafia operating in the garbage business. We could break it by 50%.
Rest should also be eliminated. Moreover, people are opposing waste processing units due to the negative publicity about the landfills and their impact on the
villagers.

Any other major initiative?

We are developing some model roads, reviving 400-bed hospital and are installing CCTV cameras at sensitive and crowded locations.
We have also decided to designate people as Road Ambassadors and Area Ambassadors, who will be responsible for carrying out good works and come out with out-of-the-box suggestions to improve the area.

Are there some law and order problems in your area?

Gurappanapalya is a revenue pocket where some youth have been pestering people. Ward corporator Mohammad Rizwan Nawaab has been trying to control the boys who are often creating troubles. Barring this, we do not have any major law and order problem.
