Karti Chidambaram asks Chennai MC to take waste-management tip from Indore in BJP-ruled MP

Congress MP Karti Chidambaram has created a flutter in the political circles by praising waste-management techniques in Indore, the city in which the BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh and has advised the Chennai municipal corporation to draw lessons from Indore.

Reacting to a Chennai MC plan to visit Europe to study waste management techniques this May, Karti replied: "Can the @chennaicorp name one learning & implementation of a practice from any of the previous study tours?  Poor garbage management, street dogs & cattle, broken sidewalks & potholed roads is the hallmark of Chennai. Visit Indore to start with."

Karti was responding to reports that the World Bank would support Chennai officials' visit to cities like Barcelona to study clean waste management and this could help Tamil Nadu adopt better solutions amid protests over local dump yards.
