KCDC stink covers HSR Layout and surroundings

Since yesterday, the stink from the Karnataka Compost Development Corporation (KCDC) has become stronger, and is being felt in parts of HSR Layout, Sarjapur Road, Singasandra, Mangammanapalya, Kudlu, Harlur and Bandepalya. Adding to the stink are the rains and the wind direction.
A few days ago, MLA Satish Reddy had stated on social media that the waste was being removed to eventually shut down the KCDC unit soon. The residents of Somasundrapalya who live closest to the polluting composting plant, however, feel that the tonnage might have gone up in the last week. However, KCDC officials deny the allegation.
“The fact that the RDF (refuse derived fuel) is being removed, and it’s raining continuously definitely gives out the smell which we cannot avoid as waste mixed with water does make the smell intolerable,” said one official. “However, the smell is also from the stormwater drains as they are also carrying sewage in many areas, so it may not just be the KCDC responsible for it.”
The KCDC officials also contend that they are sending back mixed waste, almost every other day, and following the protocol strictly. Reacting to the MLA’s statement that the plant will be shutdown soon, the officials said that the matter is in court, and only the court can take such a decision.
