Summary:
On Wednesday, the BBMP slapped a Rs 10,000 penalty on Samrudh Veg restaurant on Cunningham Road. BBMP Commissioner BH Anil Kumar told TNIE that health officials have been directed to conduct surprise checks on all restaurants and hotels. Restaurants are bulk waste generators. As per solid waste management rules bulk waste generators have to manage their own waste and not mix it with BBMP’S door-to-door collection. BBMP has been receiving complaints from many garbage collectors that the bulk waste generators are pushing their garbage to them..
