It is a fact that our people indulge in all kinds of civic improprieties and are not at all favourable to obey rules and regulations. River sides, pavements, and certain places in the open are used as public toilets, ignoring health, hygiene and modesty. We throw away garbage in front of another’s gate without a qualm. After a wedding, the road in front of the house, where the wedding was held, looks like a dumping ground of paper plates, cups, thrown away leftover food and all sorts of garbage emitting a foul smell. We try to keep our own homes clean, but not interested in keeping the road or any public place clean.
