Residents in Banashankari grapple with stench of uncollected garbage

Residents in the Banashankari Temple Road ward are facing a garbage menace due to the failure of Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited (BSWML) and Bengaluru South City Corporation to collect waste regularly. Social activist Gulab Pasha stated that the waste dump attracts rats, mosquitoes, and flies, causing a bad stench and making breathing difficult for residents. BSWML Assistant General Manager Manuja Raj responded that a meeting was held and the contractor has been warned to clear the waste regularly.
