BENGALURU: Residents of HT Line, Ilyas Nagar, Shani Mahatma Temple vicinity, Indian School area, Fayazabad-Raghavendra School surroundings, Basappa Reddy Compound, Pipeline Road and other areas in Yelachenahalli in Bengaluru South City Corporation are tolerating the stench of rotting garbage piled up on street corners. “The majority of residents here are downtrodden, and are vulnerable to infections due to garbage piles and bad stench, but the stakeholders have done very little or nothing to clear the waste. Some frustrated residents were contemplating hiring a tractor and dumping mounds of waste at the GBA head office as a protest,” said Pasha. The residents say that due to garbage, residents are also facing mosquitoes, and not just foul smell, infestation and serious health hazards for residents. The residents stated, “If the DyCM’s initiative truly had value, we wouldn’t be forced to live amid piles of garbage.
