Kiran Mazumdar Shaw Slams BBMP Over Garbage Piling Up On Bengaluru Roads

Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, head of Biocon, called out the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) for failing to keep Bengaluru's streets clean. Her criticism stemmed from a video showing a large amount of garbage on the Outer Ring Road.

Mazumdar-Shaw expressed disgust on social media, urging the BBMP to quickly address the "ugly mess." The video has gained significant online attention, with many users demanding action.

The video has since gained traction online, with many users echoing her call for urgent measures. While some criticized the authorities for the prevalent litter, others pointed out the importance of citizen responsibility in keeping the streets clean.

One user wrote, ''Yes this is next to the same road.. even more shameful is most of the expats, consulates, ministers, even BBMP top officers stay in this locality and they take this route everyday! We are not only letting our city down we are also letting our nation down by displaying such filthy habits.''

Another user commented on the broader issue, wrote, ''This is the tragic scenario in every tier 1 and tier 2 cities. There are NO public trash bins, so people will throw the garbage wherever they feel like. Unless civic bodies install, insist on using, and maintain the #publictrashbins this will continue.''

A third user emphasized the need for education and enforcement, saying, ''Every area in Bengaluru has Roads like these. First, people need to be educated and punished too !!''

A fourth user suggested practical measures, ''Hi Maam - It has been similar in few areas now. I have observed people dumping waste near metro stations, dividers and this happens during night. We need to penalize the offenders heavily along with CCTV cameras to identify who repeatedly dump in these places.''
