Shivakumar instructed police to seize vehicles involved in illegal dumping of construction debris or waste.
He announced stricter norms for vacant sites, including double-tax or repossession if owners fail to build within five years.
He urged citizens to develop civic sense and treat Bengaluru as their own asset, not the government's.
