Iffath Fathima ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: While BBMP blames the public for not segregating garbage, turns out that the civic body is in fact responsible for the filthy state of Gangashetty Lake. According to a citizens’ group which is taking care of the lake, for the past three years, BBMP’s tipper lorries have been dumping garbage near the lake. Earlier, only about 2,000 sqft was used to dump waste but now I can see close to an acre of the area being used. Every day we see 10 tippers dumping waste here,” said Balaji Ragotham, a group member. Dumping waste near lakes or on roads is wrong.”.
