Garbage trucks, waste dumped near government school in Bengaluru leave students battling foul smell, rats
A half-kilometre stretch of footpath covered with heaps of garbage bags in JC Nagar is not only an eyesore but also makes it difficult for pedestrians and schoolchildren
At a government school and pre-university college in JC Nagar, Bengaluru, students and staff face foul odors and unhygienic conditions due to nearby garbage dumping and leaking waste from trucks. A half-kilometer stretch of footpath is littered with garbage bags and used mattresses, causing distress among the residents. Three government schools and a pre-university college are affected by the issue.
Ayesha, headmistress of the Urdu school, noted that the foul smell has led to students eating mid-day meals while enduring the odor. Shobha, principal of the pre-university college, expressed disappointment that the garbage is not cleared despite complaints, and even rats have entered classrooms. Bengaluru North City Corporation Commissioner Pommala Sunil Kumar promised to address the issue soon.
