In Dec.2015, BBMP did not pick up our garbage (Shalimar Apts with 42 apts.) for 12 days. We contained it in segregated separate drums with not a pin being discarded outside. It was a challenge. On prompting of a BBMP Health staff we hired the services of a BBMP approved contractor w.e.f. Jan.1,2016. he has been giving good service. Earlier this year he had to change the name of his Company to that of BBMP due to some adjustments between him and BBMP. The crew employed are mostly from North East. They are below 21 years and carry no ID or address proof, with no safety gear provided. We have been able to make 99% segregation within our premises, with three drums each (150L each with lids and wheels) for wet and dry waste and one for medical waste. We use bio-degradable bags. A lot of dry waste is being handed over to waste pickers who are able to earn a small sum by selling it in the market.
The award of contracts are given only to small time contractors & not the reliable good ones. The contractors seem to be relatives of the politician of the area. Nether the quality is assured nor the time for execution. A 6 month project may go over even to 3 or 4 years without any penalty being laid on the contractor. several extensions will be given with escalation to the cost of construction also. In the bargain, not only the public are looted of their money, they are made to suffer, unable to use the road where the construction drags on & on & on...
Today he has given a statement regarding : Mr. K Muthaiya , an honest Officer transferred 9 times in 4 years (24 transfer in last few years) He was given a difficult task , Corporation was collecting near about 10-12 crore in a month from advertisement on public place as rent. He claimed that corporation can collect 300 crores from a single ward, it was challenged by the corporation authorities & given him a challenging work. With in 45 days he collected 340 crores from advertisement & claimed that If free hand is given to him, with in these present rules he can collect 6000 crores approx. then immeditely he was transferred from BBMP. On his 9th transfer, he has given a small intervies to a channel in Bangalore, now Mr. George, Minister has given a public statement that he should have not given this type of public statement with the news channel. I have seen the interview,ther was nothing wrong in it. Mr. K Muthaiya claimed that there is a cartel of corruption in BBMP, which does not allow to collect more revenue through advertisement hordings, which he has proved in 45 days, he has been punished instead of reward for that big collection. Mr. George does not feel shame to comment such type of comments, he should have protected his carrier & improved the revenue of BBMP where as the BBMP is struggling for losses or more expenditure & unnecessarily increasing Property tax. Very big corruption is going going on in BBMP. This is going since long in Bangalore as well as in the state govt.. All the Govt(BJP or Congress) should come out of this mania & give a good governance & minister should be criticized for the BAD COMMENTS IN THE PUBLIC AGAINST THE HONEST OFFICER. A VERY FEW OFFICER IN GOVT. JOBS ARE HONEST(HARD HONEST) AT LEAST I FEEL SHAMEFUL FOR THIS PROCESS OF COMMENTING ON COMMENTS
