Ballari City Corporation has resolved to install CCTV cameras at vital locations to monitor waste management in the city.
When Minister for Youth Empowerment, Sports and Tribal Welfare and Ballari in-charge B. Nagendra moved a proposal at the general body meeting in Ballari on Thursday, all members supported it.
Some of the members pointed out the importance of people’s participation in making Ballari city clean, green and healthy and made an appeal for taking up an awareness drive to sensitise the people on their role.
In his response, Mr. Nagendra suggested taking local organisations and associations in every ward into confidence and involving them in spreading awareness among the people.
“Stray cattle menace is a serious problem in the city. Stray cattle disturb vehicular movement. A public notice should be issued directing cattle owners to keep their livestock on their private premises. Penalties must be imposed on violators. Those cattle having no owners should be sent to Goshalas,” Mr. Nagendra said.
When the Minister proposed to develop the old Tahsildar office premises and build offices for the corporation members at a cost of ₹30 crore, all the members supported the proposal.
Taking note of a recent spurt in theft and robbery cases in the city, the Minister said that a direction will be given to the police to increase night patrolling.
Ballari City MLA Nara Bharath Reddy, Mayor B. Shwetha, Deputy Mayor B. Janaki, chairpersons of different standing committees, Corporation Commissioner G. Khaleel Sab and others were present.
