Mounds of debris lying on a street in the city
Even as the BMC kick-started a cleanliness drive earlier this month, collecting over 5,500 tonnes of garbage, it has yet to figure out how to get rid of the debris that it has amassed.
The drive had been launched on the instructions of CM Eknath Shinde on September 1. According to BMC authorities, 5,786 tonnes of garbage was collected in the last three weeks, which included 4,183 metric tonnes of debris, which is basically waste procured from construction sites. This also means that more than 72 per cent of the unattended garbage was debris.
