The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will use Information Technology to help fix problems pertaining to garbage in the city. With the help of existing Closed Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV) and more if needed, it will keep an eye on spots with overflowing garbage. It will use a software connected to the CCTVs, which will help capture someone throwing garbage in real time, as an image of this will immediately pop up on their monitoring screen.
Even as the BMC has been adding to the number of bins in the city to make it easy for the citizens to dump waste, overflowing garbage is still noticed. Now the BMC will identify locations across the city to monitor the cause of such nuisance, especially near the slum areas and take care of the ever increasing problem, said officials.
