BMC warns vendors of police case if they dump flowers on road

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued a two-day ultimatum to flower market vendors in Dadar to clean up waste or face fines and police complaints. The BMC has provided waste dumping facilities, but some vendors find it easier to dump waste on the road. The excess flower waste is being recycled into fertiliser or incense sticks. Despite low sales, 70 to 80 truckloads of flowers are still being wasted daily, causing public anger. Some individuals are capitalising on the dumped waste by cleaning and selling the flowers.
