The Centre for Science and Environment, in a report, has tore apart the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP)’s projection of facade of development with an unrealistic budge. The report brings out the City’s failure to manage its sewage and precious water. CSE director Sunita Narain aptly puts it, “Bangalore is drowning in its own excreta.”
Sunita was quick to emphasise that Bangaloreans were by no means “unique”. At the launch of the seventh edition of the CSE State of India’s Environment Report titled ‘Excreta Matters’, she said cities across the country were doing equally bad.
