BMC Launches Initiatives to Address Garbage Vulnerable Sites and Bulk Waste Compliance in Mumbai
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has identified 147 garbage vulnerable points across 26 wards in Mumbai, focusing on high-footfall areas and informal settlements where waste collection is challenging.

Additionally, the BMC is enforcing registration and compliance among Bulk Waste Generators, requiring segregation and proper disposal of waste, with strict measures against non-compliance to improve city sanitation and public health.
