<p> <br />Speaking to the media here on Monday, CMC President Dinaker Shetty informed that the CMC has opted for an unique mode of solid waste management at the door steps. Two separate waste buckets for solid and organic wastes will be distributed freely to about 150 houses on an experimental basis. Organic waste will be collected daily whereas the solid waste will be collected once in a week. About 8 SHGs have already been assigned with the job of collecting the wastes from the houses.

Kanakadasa street, Badagupate and Tenkapete streets will be taken up under road widening programme. Stretches at Kalsanka-Rajangana junctions and Ideal-Woodlands junctions will be taken up for up gradation. The roads will be widened up to 10 feet on either side, he said.<br /><br />About Rs 52 lakh has been earmarked for the concretiing works.
