Bengaluru: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palika (BBMP) is all set to install scientific dustbins within the city to curb the garbage menace.

Reportedly, the scientific bins installed within the city were brought from Germany for the cost of Rs 55 crore for the beautification and to clean the black spot in the city.

The BBMP officials have selected 130-135 places where the bins are supposed to be put, where people can throw waste instead of black spots.

Speaking with this regard Congress leader Abdul Wajid, who is in opposition in the state, said, “The bins are brought to beautify the city and to remove the black spots. We found that after this corporation has come, they are not able to deliver what they promised.”

Meanwhile,Mayor Gautam Kumar criticising the move, said, “I have got too many complaints about the bin. It is becoming a black spot. The tender was called for Rs 55 crores, which is not acceptable. I also have gone to files and there are some deviations. They call it a scientific bin but I don’t see any science in it.
