The Chamarajanagar municipal area in Karnataka produces over 20 tonne of waste with a population of over one lakh. The city municipal council (CMC) is struggling to find out a way to manage the solid waste generated in the area. Dumping of debris is on the rise with more and more buildings coming up in the city. Residents are worried as elections to the Assembly as well as CMC are at hand. Debris may only increase with political programmes. Residents demand the authorities concerned to take steps for managing even bio-medical waste. Rudresh, a resident, says, they have even referred the case to the lok adalat. The city not only loses its beauty, but also poses a threat to the people鈥檚 health and safety. The city鈥檚 population is rising with swift development. Hence, waste production is also increasing. Waste management without proper plans and technology has turned out to be a bane. But, both, the authorities as well as residents, have ignored the importance of efficient waste disposal. Experts suggest the civic body to curb unscientific disposal of waste, which is common in the city. Residents dump garbage by road side, while there is pile of rubbish in front of hotels, shops, etc. The problem has turned out to be a headache for the CMC. Many increase the pollution further by burning the waste. But the authorities concerned, for unknown reason, is reluctant to take appropriate measures. Although the CMC?prepared a report in 2005 and also discussed about measures to be taken for solid waste management, there has been no progress on this front.
