Summary:
There was a brief period of tidiness in between when, after DNA's June 27 report on the trash piles on the plot, BMC trucked off 100 tonnes of trash from the plot, leaving it near-clean on July 25. Unbridled littering by the slum dwellers without fear of any consequences has returned the plot of land to being a landfill. WR should also show some responsibility and ensure that the plot is barricaded or developed to stop people from dumping trash on it," he said. WR officials called it a "civic issue", saying it was BMC's job to ensure slums have a waste management system so their dwellers don't dirty the plot. Senior BMC officials said the slum dwellers responsible for littering threatened civic workers during clean-up drives..
