What a Garbage Bin?

Posted on 6/21/2009

Place: Akber Road, near Chikka Market, Mandi Mohalla, Mysore-21

Questions/observations on this picture:

1. Is this the way to place a garbage bin? The bin is occupying half the road and the garbage strewn alround is capable of not only creating unbearable stench but also it is a veritable crucible for spread of epidemics that are causing deceases and deaths.

2. According to residents, the Bin is not lifted on a regular basis thereby forcing people dump their garbage around the bin since it is overflowing. This is not the only bin that is found on the road but there are many such bins in and around Chikka Market Area.

3. Since nobody wants a garbage bin in front of their home or shop, authorities might have been forced to place the bin on the road.

4. Citizens only know how to claim their rights for facilities and amenities because they pay taxes but do not have the sense of responsibility to keep the city clean and a feeling of belonging to the city.

5. They think it is their right to dirty the city forgetting that there are others who have a right to live in a clean city.

6. While authorities appear to have resigned to the irresponsible ways of citizens, they cite such acts as excuses for not rendering proper services.

7. If we can show some concern for the city and its cleanliness, particularly in the old city areas, a lot can be achieved to live in healthy environs.

8. The ball is in the court of Citizens in almost all urban areas in our country.

9. Such placement of bins on the roads is hampering the movement of vehicles and are dangerous spots for accidents.

Mr Vasanth,
I am surprised to look at this blog, as I live in the nieghbouring street.You have correctly spotted the issues by and large, but pertaining to this issue there are some local elements who dont want to have a alternative arrangement as they are happy with the present one because its up to thier comfort.
I could notice these kind of cases around the city, which is not addressed because of same old attitude of "sab chalta hain".
When I approached corporation with atleast 5 cases around, even authorities give surprised look ad ask for my locality as the authorities feel people should approach pertaining to thier respective nieghbouring area.
At the end of the day, this garbage bin is beyond impossible to be replaced as local politicians and few households with some influence want it to be lieng as its far away from thier home and garbage can be easily dumped.................
