‘Creating awareness, training pourakarmikas will ensure success

The City’s Residents’ Welfare Associations (RWAs) are happy that BBMP has finally issued a notice making garbage segregation at source mandatory. But they feel it is necessary to prepare the people for the move by educating them. Many are game for segregating the waste into biodegradable and non- biodegradable, but feel it is difficult to separate it into six categories at this stage. Moreover, the pouraka- rmikas, who actually collect and dispose of the civic waste, have till now been kept in the dark about garbage segregation.
