The Menace of Garbage Dumping and Encroachment in Bangalore
Bangalore, renowned for its innovation and greenery, is now facing a critical problem of illegal garbage dumping and land encroachments. These issues threaten the city’s environment and its livability, with empty plots becoming dumping grounds and targets for illegal activities.
The Scale of the Problem
Encroachment has emerged as a massive issue in Bangalore, with over 2,045 acres of land in the urban district illegally occupied. Across Karnataka, more than 2.37 lakh acres of forest land are under encroachment. In some cases, entire lakes have been repurposed for unauthorized use, with more than 131 lakes in Bangalore affected. These illegal activities highlight systemic inefficiencies and contribute to the degradation of urban spaces
Garbage Dumping Crisis
The lack of proper waste management exacerbates the situation:
- Limited dustbins and waste collection points lead people to dump trash indiscriminately.
- Unoccupied plots are easy targets for illegal garbage disposal, turning neighborhoods into unsanitary areas.
- The city’s growing population has further strained waste management systems.
Adding to this, BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) imposes steep fines of up to ₹25,000 for garbage dumping, but enforcement remains a challenge
Consequences of Inaction
Leaving plots unattended risks:
- Devaluation of property.
- Health hazards due to pest infestations.
- Potential legal trouble if fines are levied.
