Swiggy gets into trouble - BBMP slaps fine!

The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has fined food delivery Swiggy Rs.15,000 for dumping waste outside its office building in Bengaluru.

The News Minute reports that Randeep Dev said that they found three violations outside Swiggy's Bengaluru office.

"Waste was dumped outside the office in an incorrect manner. The waste should be held in bins which are not lined with plastic. No plastic bags should be used to dispose waste other than biomedical waste and in this case, plastic bags were used. Mixing of wet and dry waste was also observed. The waste should not be left in the open and should be handed over responsibly for its disposal," he explained.

"As a responsible company, Swiggy is conscientious about our civic responsibility and remains committed to addressing environmental issues. We look forward to working closely with the BBMP in resolving the matter and in driving necessary awareness on the best practises to be followed amongst our partners", said Swiggy's spokesperson speaking about the issue.
