BBMP — public extortion by garbage collection team

Address: 16th B Main, HAL 2nd Stage, Indiranagar, 560038

I stay at 16th B Main, HAL 2nd Stage. The garbage collection vehicle drops by once in a couple of days to collect garbage. Not regular at all. Over and above that, their team demands a payment of RS 500 every month. If we don't pay it they don't accept any garbage from our end. Most of the residents including myself end up paying the money as we don't have a choice. We care about our environment.

I paid Rs 500 very recently. Today the team came and demanded money from me again. I told them that I have paid the money but they didn't agree and demanded payment or else they will stop accepting my garbage.

This is plain extortion. I humbly request the concerned authorities to take some action in the interest of the public.

Thank you
