In the following days, a lot of construction debris, large amounts of waste accumulated in empty plots were cleared by BBMP team.
To ensure cleanliness of the empty sites, the TUI team, with Sunil Achar as local champion, proposed beautification of the area around the empty site and putting up enclosures. In 6th block, 3 empty sites were selected. BBMP team did another round of clean up on the day of beautification.

A green screen was erected to dissuade dumping of garbage and the neighbouring commercial establishments were given awareness on responsible waste disposal.

I am always available to support such positive initiatives”, said Sunil Achar, who has been a big crusader on plastic ban and improving visual cleanliness of Koramangala and other wards in Bengaluru. “Mr. Sunil has shown great initiative and commitment towards removal of black spots and many green initiatives.
