The High Court of Karnataka has intervened to resolve the garbage crisis in the city of Bangalore, ordering municipal officials to present a plan by Tuesday to clear the mounting rubbish in the city. On Sunday, more than 300 trucks had already been sent to collect the trash in the streets for dumping at the city’s reopened main dump at Mandur.

City residents are discouraged from segregating their trash as they are again piled together in the trucks by garbage collectors.
