Glad BBMP officials.
“We know more to do because the city has grown with more speed than you can,” said a senior official.

The apartment complex and individual homes separate wet waste with their own composting method, which is a good progress “, said a senior SWM official.
While residents who are happy about rising rating, Sandya Narayanan, a member of the Solid Waste Management Round Table (SWMRT), Saying it was a pleasant surprise that BBMP has been recognized as mega city drivers, but more things need to be borne.
“Bangalore SWM has scored 50% and this is a less passionate performance with the progress of the service level barely maintaining his head on the water.
The certification process requires and requires an approach that focuses on administration to place the required SWM system and process, “he told Stoi.
Ram Prasad, an environmentally friendly fighters, said Swachh Surveshhan is a mirror and it shows our status.” This is a climbing task that is uphill.
It must be taken transparently, where we need to score higher in 2022.
We must immediately reach the trash town tag, “said RAM.
