ಸರ್, ನಿಮ್ಮ ವಾದ ತರ್ಕಬದ್ಧವಾಗಿದೆ. ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರದ ನಾಲ್ಕನೇ ಒಂದು ರಸ್ತೆಯು ಹೀಗೆ ಸುಗಂಧ ಸೂಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಎಲ್ಲದಕ್ಕೂ ಕಾನೂನಿನ ಅವಶ್ಯಕತೆ ಇದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ, ನಾವು 'ನಾಗರೀಕರು' ಎನಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಅರ್ಹರೆ?
Good pictures. Maybe you should give them a copy too.
Here are two article that are MUST reads on the same issue: http://bangalore.citizenmatters.in/blogs/show_entry/2445-public-health-sanitation-bengaluru
Deepa, thanks for the reference. It was very interesting to read. However, the second is a dead link.
In the first link Vaishnavi wrote a lot about BBMP taking steps to make Bangalore greener and cleaner. But, have you ever observed the fate of BBMP office at Hudson Circle? When the building's compound wall is stinking across Bangalore, I don't really know how responsible officials inside the building are sitting unaware of this!?
Deepa, I was actually talking about the same BBMP office which is in Corporation.
There is a Church in Corporation - Hudson Church. Hence Corporation Circle is also called as Hudson Circle.
If you happen to move from Majestic to City Market via Corporation, there is a traffic signal just at the LIC junction, left of which is the BBMP Office compound, which is urine stinking like hell and most of the officials commute in their Government vehicles through the gate next to this stinking compound wall.
Am still unaware as to why they are not brave enough to fine those who urinate the BBMP office wall, when they threaten in writing of imposing fine up to 500 elsewhere in the city!
Prashanth - Agree with your above comment. The Government only checks on sincere citizens.
Though what I'm saying now, is a bit unrelated, I would like to share it. I had once bought a 40-rupee-bus-daily-pass. I was in a hurry and didn't check what the conductor marked on the pass. I just bought it and got into the next bus. The conductor in the bus asked for my pass. When I showed it, surprisingly (to me), the previous conductor had marked it as a male pass! I couldn't tolerate the stupidity! And the new conductor asked me to buy a new pass or get down right there! It was embarrassing, because of the conductor's mistake I was suspected for possessing a fake pass!
I immediately got down at the next stop and went back to the same conductor and pointed him out what damage he'd done (luckily, he was still standing at the same stop)! Finally, I prised out a new 'female' pass from him!
On the contrary, I have seen conductors NOT issuing tickets dutifully to the commuters. If the ticket is for Rs.6, they keep Rs.5 in their pocket and just move to the next commuter, without issuing tickets.
What I wanted to say is, Government has all measures to twist and bend the lives of sincere middle-class common people, they build sophisticated systems such as metro rails, tarring "frequently" tarred roads, etc, but, they do not know how to correct the faulty system at a primary level. A better empire cannot be built on a wavering foundation. :|
BBMP appoints few women to broom roads. And what do these women do? They push all the waste under a car or a tree! It's funny to watch it! But, it's depressing when you think about the mentality of irresponsible citizens and the consequences.
Who should be blamed for this? The women who cannot be corrected? Or BBMP officers who do not care about the finer details? Or the citizens who dirty the city?
ಪ್ರಶಾಂತ್ ,ನಾನು ಇದನ್ನು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಜನರ ಒಂದು ಕಿರು ಚಿತ್ರಣವನ್ನು ನಿನ್ನ ಫೋಟೋಗಳನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದಾಗ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ .ನಾಗರಿಕರು ಅವಸರವಾದಾಗ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂತ್ರಾಲಯದ ಸೌಲಭ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಇದ್ದಾಗ ಏನು ಮಾಡಬೇಕು ?.ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ಯ ಮಾರ್ಗವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಈ ರೀತಿ ನಡೆದು ಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾರೆ ನಿಜ ...ಅದಕ್ಕಾಗಿಯೇ ಈ ಸೌಲಭ್ಯವನ್ನು ನಗರಸಭೆಯವರು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಗೆ ಒದಗಿಸಿ ದರೆ ಹಾಗೂಅದನ್ನು ಸ್ವಚ್ಚ ವಾಗಿಟ್ಟರೆ ಜನರು ಅದರ ಉಪಯೋಗ ಪಡೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ .ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಅಂಟು ಜಾಡ್ಯದಪಿಡಗು ಹೋಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
Chandrika, very true! We need to change the entire system altogether. It should start from grass-root level, means we citizens, right?
ಕೇಶು ಸರ್, ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಮೂತ್ರಾಲಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಣಸಿಗದ ಬಹು ಮುಖ್ಯ ಅಂಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ 'ಸ್ವಚ್ಚತೆ' ಪ್ರಮುಖವಾದುದು. ನೀವು ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಮೂತ್ರಾಲಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ವಚ್ಚತೆ ಇದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ, ಜನಸಾಮಾನ್ಯರು ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸುವರು ಎಂಬ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಾತು ಸತ್ಯವಾದುದು.
With no offense to the other gender. In this case, I do no see any difference between a dog and them? Till people own up the moral responsibility, we cannot see the change. To see the change, everyone has to be the change. There is no point in blaming the society. Agreed. There is onus on the government too, to build enough public toilets at sane distances. But, after 2 days, no one can even pass in front of the toilets. People fail to keep it clean. They ab-use the public facility. After they have emptied their tanks, how long will it take to flush? Why should they expect someone clean their mess? Will they perform same act on their house wall? Will they not keep the toilets clean..
I commend efforts of Nirmala Shauchaalaya by Infosys.

PEE-BLIC - that's a new addition to English Dictionary, good one Spicy :o)
ReplyDeleteYeah, we should shoulder our responsibility of keeping public toilets clean being sensible citizens. No excuses on this whatsoever.
