BBMP to impose fines for littering, dumping garbage

BENGALURU: Be careful before littering or dumping garbage on the city’s streets. If caught, you will be fined.

In a surprising move, BBMP officials kept a close watch on the litterers to prevent them from throwing garbage. In a recent instance, a BBMP official tracked down an individual, Saravana, who littered on the road in Hoskerehalli and imposed a fine of Rs 100 at his residence, setting an example for others to follow municipal norms.

The BBMP health supervisor, Lokesh, found Saravana based on CCTV footage, and he went to his house in Hoskerehalli and fined him for throwing garbage on the road.
