Mandur residents mourn the man who fought for them Updated: Updated: Doreswamy took up fasting to ensure dumping of waste is stopped Share Article Doreswamy took up fasting to ensure dumping of waste is stopped Hundreds of residents in Mandur, a village in Bengaluru’s backyard that bore the brunt of the city’s poor solid waste management for several years, mourned the death of H.S. Doreswamy. It was the freedom fighter who took up cudgels on their behalf in 2013 as they fought against the dumping of Bengaluru’s waste there. His involvement forced the then Congress government to give in writing that garbage would no longer be dumped in the village.
