BBMP has pulled a Houdini's act by turning a quarry into a beautiful park and will continue to do the same with other quarries in its limits. According to officials, the two-acre area called Bagaluru quarry was turned into a park by first removing leachate and methane. Soil and manure were added later. Now the over 100 feet deep pit has become a lung space for locals.
If all goes according to BBMP’s plan, then 93 acres of its biggest landfill in Mandur in city's outskirts will also be turned into a lush green golf course soon.
