Key Questions Answered
Heaps of garbage accumulated because vendors left behind leftover flowers, fruits, vegetables, and packaging materials following the conclusion of the Dasara festival and Ayudha Pooja. The situation worsened as Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) personnel failed to clear the waste on time.
The accumulated garbage emits a foul smell and severely obstructs pedestrians and motorists on streets and footpaths. Furthermore, the rotting waste creates a high risk for increased breeding of flies and mosquitoes, threatening public health.
