Byregowda meets CM with stinky complaint

Bengaluru: Former minister and Congress leader Krishna Byregowda on Friday met Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and requested him to prevent dumping of waste in his constituency Byatarayanapura.

Byregowda visited Yediyurappa and urged him to direct the authorities concerned to clear the garbage from his constituency Byatarayanapura.

“The authorities had promised that they would not dump garbage or at least reduce the waste being dumped by mid-year. But nothing has been done,” Byregowda was quoted speaking to TNIE.

He further added that since his constituency was taking the bulk of the waste, the previous coalition government had sanctioned grants from the local area development funds.

Byatarayanapura is home to the Bellahalli quarry, which is used as a landfill to dump the city’s garbage. e,” he added.
