I had given the following suggestions in advance. I was called upon to elaborate, which I did. The MLA responded by agrreing to the same by promptly calling for the next meet with all dept. reps on 24th Aug. at 10-00 a.m. at the same venue.

"1. A mechanism should be put in place to continuously monitor the

grievances being submitted to the officials in such periodical meets.
2. Such reviews should be done in a Coordination meeting with the
Citizens Representatives including the Corporator concerned.'
3. All the departments - BBMP, BWSSB, BESCOM,BTP, HEALTH, POLICE (Law
& Order) should participate.
4. At present WARD 88 Citizens Forum is conducting such meetings on
the third Friday (4-00 p.m.) of every month in the office of the AE
(BBMP). Other Depts should send their representatives.
5. Other Wards also can hold similar meetings once a month.
6. The Traffic Police also are holding such meets on third Saturday
(11-00 a.m.) every month. This can be combined with the third Friday
meeting to avoid duplication.'

1.  Dr. Ravindra,   Principle secretary to the government 0f Karnataka Rtd. welcomed the audience.
2. It was a long week end. May be this was enough reason for the BBMP officials to absent themselves.
3. However MLA Raghu presence was refreshing, Dr. Ravindra felt.
4. Road and drainage covering works are in progress.

Some of the problems as summed up by Dr. Ravindra were:-

• Car parking on 100ft road foot paths, should be discouraged 
• Absence of parking lot provision is the sore point. 
• Garbage is thoroughly mismanaged
• Segregation not done / or being mixed up
• Commercial buildings in residential areas
• etc

This was a refreshing start for the days discussions

MLA Mr. Raghu, Dr. Ravindra and Mr. Ramamurthy on the Dais

Mr. Raghu spared no effort to assure the residents that he will continue his good work in his third term as well.

This event was perhaps not the proper venue. He is calling for a meet on 24th August with all the stake holders. He revealed that MLA funds have not been utilised, and will be well spent!

As far as Garbage issue is concerned, segregation at source is the key. Effective steps towards zero dumping are not that hard. There is a need to take all Residents along by a helping hand.

• There should be no dumping of any type of unwanted items by the residents.
• Once the authorities have a plan and implement the same, dumping will automatically stop
• The Garbage contractors need to collect each type of garbage on different days.
• Alternately separate contracts for each type may be thought of if advantageous.
• Steps for Composting of Wet garbage need to be deliberated and implemented ward wise.
• Plastics need to be recycled
• Look at the poor who scavenge at the garbage dumps
• There is a need to be organized for getting our city clean and the envy of other cities.
• The city of Surat in Gujarat was a dirty hole once upon a time. It was transformed one fine day when a determined government called it a day!
