The state government has decided to adopt the Namakkal model to ensure a permanent solution to the garbage crisis in BBMP limits. The model was suggested by former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa who had visited Namakkal recently. Namakkal is a small town situated in Salem district, where garbage has been managed effectively, said Jayanagar MLA B.N. Vijaykumar.

Every day, Hanjara Bio-tech Limited produces 300 tonnes of compost from garbage and sells it to private agencies. Private companies have came forward to install the same plant in Bengaluru to manage garbage, said Mr Vijaykumar. Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar has evinced interest in the model and held a meeting with former CM B.S. Yeddyurappa and Bengaluru MLAs on Thursday regarding effective management of garbage. He assured the MLAs that the government is committed to find a permanent solution by adopting the Namakkal, model.

According to the government’s plan, recycling of garbage would be done after it is segregated at source. For this, Hanjara Bio-Tech will install a recycling plant in Bengaluru. The proposal has been pending for consideration before the state Cabinet with approval likely to be given at its next meeting for installing garbage recycling plant in Bengaluru at 4-5 locations, the Chief Minister said.
