To celebrate 9 years of Swachh Bharat Mission, Swachhata Abhiyan was organized on 01 October all over the country as part of the campaign “Swachhata he Seva” that motivated citizens through the tagline Ek Tareekh, Ek Ghanta, Ek Saath.
It is the duty of every citizen to keep our surroundings clean and protect our environment. But for some residents of the sector, the slogan of Swachh Bharat has become such a narrow-minded thought that in order to keep their home surroundings clean they dump all unwanted things on the roadsides just little away from their houses and they pretend to be happy doing such act.
One glaring example of this type of activity can be seen in our sector by just having a look at the abandoned cars placed at roadsides. Some of the pictures, captured recently, we carry here for the readers.
Are these abandoned cars, mostly with missing Registration Numbers, not paving way for all ingredients of health hazards to grow, spreads and affects adversely the human being? The answer is undoubtedly “YES”.
Whose duty is to stop this menace? Who is going to bell the cat?
Can the individual car owner of such abandoned cars come forward and get this junk lifted by scrap dealers and get some money out of that? After all, these cars are made from iron sheets and it can be recycled. Or can RWA write to Transport Authority and Police Department to dispose of these cars as per the procedure.
How can we turn blind to these cars are dumped on the roadside which is a public place? Is it not our duty to ensure that a public place, being the property of everyone, must be available for use of public and for the purpose it is meant but not for any individual for dumping junk.
