BBMP forms cell for waste management

Staff Reporter

Bangalore: The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has formed an Environment Cell to handle solid waste management.

Sources said that earlier, solid waste management was handled by the civic authority’s health department. It was in November 2008 that it was entrusted to the ward engineers.

The civic authority decided to form a cell which would exclusively handle solid waste management on the lines of the one in the Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC). The cell in BMC was managed by environment engineers.

BBMP has posted its eight environment engineers to the newly formed cell.

The civic authority has also written to the Karnataka Public Service Commission with regard to recruiting more environment engineers to the cell.

Meanwhile, ward engineers and medical officers of BBMP might opt to work in the cell, sources said.
