Overview
- The Greater Bengaluru Authority and Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited will pay residents ₹250 for video reports of people dumping waste on city streets.
- Videos can be sent to BSWML’s WhatsApp number 9448197197 or via official social channels, with location and violator details encouraged.
- BSWML will verify each submission before issuing rewards and pursuing enforcement against identified offenders.
- The initiative complements CCTV monitoring and existing penalties that range from ₹2,000 to ₹10,000 for public dumping.
