Karnataka Lokayukta Orders Cleanup of 80 Tonnes of Garbage in Bengaluru Ward
The Karnataka Lokayukta, led by Justice B.S. Patil, intervened to address the accumulation of around 80 tonnes of garbage in Bengaluru's Shettihalli ward, particularly in Kammagondanahalli. Following complaints and an inspection by Lokayukta police, the existing waste contractor was replaced, and an intensive cleaning operation was launched using compactors, tippers, and a JCB. The Lokayukta directed civic authorities to maintain regular garbage clearance and sanitation to prevent future issues, providing relief to local residents.
