The BBMP will deploy mobile civic patrol squads, on the lines of the city police’s Hoysala units, to crack down on those dumping garbage on roads at night. To start with, the civic agency will use its Pahari emergency vehicles for the purpose.
D Randeep, BBMP special commissioner (solid waste management), issued instructions to this effect on Wednesday evening to the eight joint commissioners.

The move comes following the high court’s directive to the civic agency to keep the city clean. Randeep said the biggest step to help beautify the city is to prevent people from dumping garbage on roadsides. He said night patrolling will commence on Thursday and squads have been told to penalise violators.
