Will Madikeri ‘Hi-Tech Market’ become another garbage dump?

Madikeri, May 22: A new garbage disposal unit has quietly risen at Madikeri ‘Hi-Tech’ market.!. This area, which has become a garbage dump for people who come to the market in large numbers from the city and other places to buy greens, vegetables, fruits, and groceries on Friday, is a welcome sight. People have to cover their noses in one hand and carry bags of goods in the other.

The empty area behind the place where a chicken meat shop used to be is facing this situation, and it is ironic that neither the municipal council members nor the civic commissioner of this area have paid any attention to this. If attention is not paid to this in the future, there is a possibility that a garbage dump will be created in the market in the heart of the city, just like the ‘Stone Hill’ garbage dump in Madikeri. Not only plastic bottles, sacks, plastic bags, thermocol, but also the fridge used in the shop has been thrown here..! All these have been scattered by dogs and spread everywhere.

Dog feeding point

According to the Supreme Court order, there is a rule that stray dogs should be fed only in selected places in urban areas. To implement this scheme, it is essential for the respective local bodies to select such places within their respective jurisdictions. The Madikeri Municipal Corporation has also ‘strictly followed’ the order and has put up a big signboard saying ‘Place for feeding street dogs’ in this market area where garbage is spread. According to the Supreme Court order, only the location marking is the responsibility of the local bodies. Although the municipality has escaped the law by fulfilling this, what can dogs eat in this garbage? How can animal lovers, associations and organizations put food here?

Attention of public representatives is needed

If the situation worsens, there is a possibility of a mountain of garbage being built here like ‘Stone Hill’. When the tenderers were showing apathy towards the scientific disposal of the traditional garbage in ‘Stone Hill’, ‘Shakti’ had reported and warned the public representatives. Madikeri MLA Mantar Gowda responded to this situation and said that the tenderers have started the work, and the garbage clearance work is in progress. If the market, which is considered ‘hi-tech’, pays similar attention, the growth of garbage can be prevented.
