Bengaluru is known for its innovation, but the Garbage Dumping Festival (or Kasa Suriyuva Habba) takes it to a new level. The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and BSWML have launched a campaign where garbage dumped on the streets is collected and returned right back to the doorstep of the offender.

Civic Opposition of India, weighs in on this bold move:

"It is a drastic measure for a drastic problem. For years, we have seen apathy. This 'return gift' policy forces citizens to literally face their own mess. Accountability must be a two-way street."

While some call it controversial, the message is clear: If you litter, be prepared to get it back. The question remains—will this shame-based approach lead to long-term behavioral change?

While the government stays in "whataboutery mode," the reality on the ground remains unchanged. This Saturday, citizens of Bengaluru once again took to the streets—not in defiance of the law, but in desperation for basic infrastructure.

As protests are banned in the city, many couldn't officially join. So, as Civic Opposition of India) described it, this wasn't a protest; it was simply a "walk on non-existent roads."

The public anger is palpable. It is hard to imagine that in a global tech hub like Bengaluru, we are forced to fight for the most fundamental right: a paved road.
Civic Opposition of India warns that the sentiment is shifting from frustration to action: #NoRoadNoTax.

We appeal to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar to stop the deflection and start the paving.
