Garbage dumping yard severely impacting lives of residents

Innocent creatures are dying, while others are ailing

Fire and smoke have been raging unabated for the past five days

BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) garbage dumping yard at Hosurbande near Bagaluru in North Bengaluru is severely impacting the lives of residents and animals here.

Innocent creatures are dying, while others are ailing. The BBMP’s garbage dumping site here is posing a significant challenge and health hazard for the community.

Children are falling ill requiring hospitalization, prompting outrage from the local community against BBMP.

The garbage blaze rages on relentlessly, shrouding the entire vicinity in thick, noxious smoke. If the animals fall ill and cease to breathe, the struggle intensifies for the inhabitants even as they draw breath. Such distressing scenes have unfolded in Hosurbande.

The crux of the issue lies in the BBMP’s decision to establish this garbage dumping site two years ago. Daily, tons of waste from all corners of the city are dumped here. With the dumping site now at capacity, the refuse is being set ablaze. Consequently, the fire has been raging unabated for the past five days, blanketing the area in thick, foul smoke.

This dire situation has forced residents into a struggle for every breath, adversely affecting the health of children who are now being hospitalized. The local populace is expressing vehement opposition to the BBMP’s actions.

Previously, there had been objections from the community regarding the establishment of the dumping site. Now, residents have once again raised the alarm of protest, urging authorities to address the issue with urgency.
