| A busy public road. |
How do you feel when you step outside from home and find litter spread every where. Given above is picture of a crowded road of Delhi (published in the Hindu Newspaper recently)At many places you find mounds of garbage. No one is worried . Life goes on ! No activity is stopped! We are supposed to be very neat and clean. We keep our homes neat, but once you step out to a public place,,,,,,, well no body bothers.Whether it is a public road, railway station, a market place, a school or college campus,,,,,, every where you find trash, filth, and rubbish.
The problem is that we have that 'sab chalta hai' attitude. You do not find any garbage collection dust bins on many roads. The malba is therefore thrown on the open roads, thereby posing a great threat to the residents staying nearby. A parent once complained to Municipal authorities that his son was coughing all the time and was diagnosed having infected lungs.But there was no reaction!
The condition of public places present an awful sight. It is difficult even to enter the toilets. They stink miserably.Whether it is the airport, railway station, cinema halls, colleges or schools, the situation is the same every where. Malba collected from the premises is dumped in some corner in the compound. Very few people use the malba for re cycling and make it reusable.We keep our houses neat and clean, then why can't we insist and see to it that public places also must be spic and span.!

This is the same story throughout India...
ReplyDeleteYes Satya you are correct.
DeleteO! Civic sense has no value in the country. Truly-spoken,ma'am.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarala,I agree with you.
DeleteI feel very helpless, Ushaji.
ReplyDeleteI want Superpowers to clean up all the pollution! :)
Thank you Anita. We all feel upset, but can do nothing.
DeleteI find the cantonment part of our country (atleastin the cities i have lived in) are very clean. I find the jawans themselves sweeping the streets. The rest of the places the garbage scene is same. I think the government should implement strict rules like imposing fine for littering and public nuisance. I recently saw paan stains on a board which said "Please Dont spit paan here".
ReplyDeleteYes Asha, cantonment parts are coparitively neat, It is so funny that people spit paan on the roads and on the notice board. Many times men are seen pissing just in front of the notice boards.
DeleteThis situation will never change unless people make an effort to keep their surroundings clean. How hard is it to dispose off waste in a bin? If you can do it at home, then you can definitely do it outside as well. Definitely a topic to be discussed in the current time.
ReplyDeleteYes Aathira you are correct. This issue requires great attention of the authorities.
DeleteVery true Ushaji, what we need is an attitude clean-up. People want clean surroundings but dislike to put in any effort from their end, recycling/reuse are not meant only for presentation and talks, they require action.
ReplyDeleteYes Reshma you are correct. The authorities must take more interest in keeping the roads clean.
DeleteYes Shilpa you have rightly said that people throw garbage in front of their house. It is very unfortunate.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why these folks who, the self proclaimed custodians of Indian culture do not see civic sense and cleanliness as a behavioral attitude that reflects the true culture of a people.
