BENGALURU MUST SUSTAIN ITS CLEANLINESS DRIVE
December 19, 2025
|The New Indian Express Chennai
THE country's IT capital seems to be finally sloughing off its embarrassing title of 'Garbage City' with a multi-pronged strategy.
-
The recent changes in Bengaluru are not the government's doing alone—it includes residents segregating waste at source more scrupulously and paying a waste management cess. For itself, the city administration is clearing dirty spots, its marshals are hounding litterbugs, and an extensive campaign against single-use plastic is on. An integrated waste management system has been implemented to scientifically dispose of e-waste, channel plastic into road-building and cement-manufacturing, and produce energy from waste. Helplines and 76 Kasa kiosks or centres for segregated waste have been set up. All of this adds up to a promising start that deserves to be sustained.
