Bengaluru Authority Offers Reward for Reporting Street Garbage Dumping
Bengaluru city officials have a new plan to keep streets clean.
They are asking people to send videos if they see anyone throwing trash on the streets.
If the video shows someone littering, the person who sent the video will get ₹250.
This is a way to encourage everyone to help catch litterbugs.
They already have garbage collection services and use cameras and fines, but they hope this reward will make people think twice before throwing garbage on the ground.
It's like a small 'thank you' gift for helping keep the city tidy.
Bengaluru authorities are offering a ₹250 reward to citizens for reporting street garbage dumping.
Residents can submit videos of littering via WhatsApp and social media.
The initiative is by the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited (BSWML).
This program aims to change public behavior and reduce street litter.
It complements other measures like CCTV surveillance and fines of ₹2,000 or more.
