Answer: Bengaluru
Notes: The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) has launched an awareness drive called the ‘Garbage Dumping Festival’ to discourage littering. In this campaign, civic marshals dump collected garbage in front of houses of residents caught throwing waste on streets. The initiative began in Banashankari and aims to shame habitual litterers and promote clean neighbourhoods. On the first day, garbage was dumped at 218 houses, and ₹2.8 lakh in fines was collected. The campaign targets residents who dump waste on roadsides, footpaths, and vacant plots, despite daily waste collection by auto-tippers. The dumped waste is later cleared by civic workers after the awareness act.
