In 2005-06, the Palike hired excavators and trucks to clear garbage dumped on the premises of the composting unit of the Karnataka Compost Development Corporation (KCDC) at Kudlu village on Hosur Road at a cost of Rs 12.69 lakh, though it had its own equipment. Do you wish to hire a taxi by paying a higher price when you have your own car? Certainly not. The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) thinks otherwise.
