Much of the immense amount of electronic waste generated in the city seems to be going into a rabbit hole over which the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) has little control or oversight. Disposal of e-waste, if not done properly, can be hazardous to the environment and health. Right now, the KSPCB has little information about the quantum of e-waste being generated, or where it is being disposed.
