Citizens are not satisfied with the steps taken by the BMC to get rid of garbage spots despite the strict instructions from the chief minister on the subject and its tall claims about taking action. Mumbaikars have alleged that the BMC’s efforts are nothing more than knee-jerk reactions and garbage keeps piling up. In a series, mid-day, shed light on the city’s many garbage spots in mid-August.
Plush societies in Bandra and Khar have their own sweepers and garbage collectors who segregate waste but garbage can be seen in lanes and at corners in these areas. Many residents still complain about garbage and debris in Khar and Santacruz area. “This is the constant state of Bandra-Khar-Santacruz. One day, garbage will be cleared and the next day, things will go back to the way they were. Then the trash will lie there for a week. The BMC is very slow to clear garbage and sadly the moment they do, it’s back to square one,” said Debasish Chakraverty, a resident of Khar.
