Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, during his city rounds, stopped his convoy to question civic officials after spotting construction debris dumped on the roadside along the Ring Road where there were no CCTV cameras.
Visibly upset, the CM instructed his driver Naveen to halt the car and personally inspected the spot. He ordered officials to trace those responsible, seize their vehicles, and register cases. “Are officials walking on the roads with their eyes shut? Can’t you notice waste being dumped so openly?” he lashed out, directing Bengaluru civic officials, BDA engineers, and traffic police to take strict action.
