Following sent to Editor The Hitavada. Let us see what happens.
We have just returned from a trip to Indore.
Had heard that Indore is a very clean city. Considering that it was declared number one CLEANEST city in India consecutively for the last two years, calling it a "clean city" is understatement of the century.
In my 76 years of life,minus earliest 5 odd years when I did not know any thing about any thing, I have never seen any city, town, village and what have you, SOOOOOOOO clean, litter & garbage free.
ANOTHER achievement of equal significance, not a SINGLE COW OR ANIMAL OF ANY TYPE on the road hindering traffic or become an accident potential.
It was wonderful experience.
Heightened civic sense is the most welcome fall out of this, 3 to 4 years of "Clean Indore" campaign, is that every resident of that city is justifiably proud of his city. He does not litter or throws around garbage himself, but also checks fellow citizens from doing so.
This magical change was brought about by ruthless enforcement of the rules about fines for littering or throwing garbage. Defaulters were fined ₹ 500 to 1000 for every transgression, without fear or favour.
Simultaneously provisions were made for door to door garbage collection. People quickly learnt the valuable lesson. By the time Indore had won number ONE clean city for the second year it had become a habit. People of Indore want to make it a hat-trick.
WHY OH WHY my Nagpur can not be a clean city. Garbage and 'animals on road' free city.
Will powers be, ruthlessly enforce the rule about fines for littering/garbage disposable to bring about the change.
