BBMP mapping black spots across Bengaluru

Smaller segregation machines to be installed

Though the city has door-to-door collection of garbage, there are still thousands of black spots where mixed waste continues to be dumped indiscriminately. Clearing these black spots is proving to be a big challenge for the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), which has now taken up an exercise to map them all. According to senior civic officials, over the past few years, several attempts have been made to clear the black spots. The BBMP had successfully eliminated nearly 1,000 of the over 2,500 black spots. This was done with assistance from The Ugly Indians, marshals, and pourakarmikas.
