Mera Bharat Mahaan and Incredible India and many
other such catchy tag lines are great to attract tourists to India but not able
to retain them and grow the customer’s base as when they land on Indian soil
and see the real India, it comes out something unusual and funny to them.
People urinating in open, tons of garbage lying around and no one to pick them up.
There is lot more about it from spitting on gutka on the walls, unhealthy
environment and hygienic issues.Delhi, being the national capital where women
is unsafe and no traffic rules are followed. No matter you travel to any part
of India and from rural to urban areas; we have a uniformity to make it a big
garbage land.
With start of great Swatch Bharat campaigns
dedicated to make India clean by 2019 on great Mahatma Gandhi birthday, I
request everyone to please be part of it and in order to make it success, stop
doings things which make our country look dirty. I would request everyone to
stop this litter bug and be responsible to it. No doubt litterbug is in every
one of us but we can do something about it and throw this litterbug out of our genes.
In order to start, check the five basic point’s here-
1. Use dustbins
We should aim to throw away the wrappers in the bin
box while at home and if travelling; either fined a dustbin or keeps it with us
until we reach home and then empty it at right place.
2. Stop using walls for nature call
I understand that controlling nature call is
difficult at times but it does not mean that we use side walls to urinate and
relief ourselves. I am sure that we all should learn as soon until it crosses
the limit and government has to start punishment or fine like Singapore.
3. Think about others before spitting
Once I was driving in Delhi and at the red light,
my car stopped. I saw a DTDC bus standing in front of me and a litter bug
standing on the bus gate chewing the Indian paan and then spitted on the person
without even seeing it.
4. Respect the heritage monument integrity
India is land where we have so many archaeological
sites and monuments which are of national importance. People from different
countries come to see them but local domestic tourists never care or follow any
code of conduct and guidelines to preserve these monuments. We have a habit or
scribbling our names on the walls or making symbols.
5. Change in attitude
I sometimes fail to understand when I find the
difference in attitude of our country people who never take care of rules and
are litterbugs when on roads. When they travel to another country for vacations
or other reason, they become responsible and behave in a completely different
manner.
We need to get this litter bug out as soon as
possible and like we take care of our houses, we need to take care of public
property and things which surround us. It is not the government responsibility
but also our duty as a citizen of this country.
