KSPCB Shuts Down Bigg Boss Kannada 12 Studio for Environmental Violations
In a significant move, the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) has ordered the immediate shutdown of the Bigg Boss Kannada 12 studio for violating environmental regulations. The popular reality show, hosted by Kiccha Sudeep, has been accused of failing to comply with noise pollution and waste management norms.
Residents’ Complaints Lead to Action
The KSPCB acted after receiving multiple complaints from residents near the studio, located on the outskirts of Bengaluru. Locals reported excessive noise pollution, particularly during late-night filming, and improper waste disposal, which created unhygienic conditions.
A resident shared, “We’ve been unable to sleep for weeks due to the loud music and constant activity. It’s been unbearable.” The KSPCB’s inspection confirmed these issues, leading to the shutdown order.
KSPCB’s Strict Measures
The KSPCB has mandated that the studio cease operations until it obtains necessary clearances and implements corrective measures. A KSPCB official stated, “The studio has shown blatant disregard for environmental norms, and we cannot allow this to continue.”
The Board has also imposed a hefty fine on the producers and directed them to submit a detailed plan for waste management and noise control before resuming activities.
