Dumping of waste at Chigarenahalli plant resumes amidst heavy police security

Every day nearly 400 tonnes of waste is being dumped at the plant
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has restarted dumping the city’s waste at the MSGP plant in Chigarenahalli. Trucks are rolling in amidst heavy police security disrupting local protests and leaving residents angry.
Heavy rains in November last year led to leachate from the plant polluting water sources in the neighbouring villages triggering protests that blocked garbage trucks for over a month. At the time, the State government had promised an all-party meeting of elected representatives of the area to resolve the deadlock during the recently concluded winter session of the legislature.
