Bengaluru: Thousands of Apartment residents staged a protest against the rule of mandatory Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) for the apartments with more than 50 units.
The protest was organized by Bangalore Apartment Federation (BAF). A long human chain was formed by the apartment dwellers of 173 apartment complexes here.
Addressing the protest Srikant Narasimhan, general secretary, Bangalore Apartments Federation said “The older apartments do not have the design or strength to install STPs. Moreover, all these are already connected to the internal sewage system. Why are we being harassed to install STPs now? It is the job of the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) to maintain the internal sewage system right,”
BWSSB has issued notices to 1,043 apartments with more than 50 houses in the city asking them to install STP within December 31 to avoid being penalized.
