Before blaming the muncipal officials why not the public do their job by cleaning their surroundings clean?

most ppl consider garbage pick up and street and sidewalk cleaning and maintenance to be a city services that they pay for with their taxes. is that what you're talking about?

If this is possible, the there is no need of municipal corporation.


That is their responsibility which they are not doing it properly.


They are only being paid because they have taken such responsibility.


In present scenario, Nobody is free to do such cleaning jobs in and around their surroundings.

Reply:Municipalities provide garbage and recycling services. It is up to the homeowners and residents to keep up their property. If they have nuisances, they need to get rid of them. It's not the city's responsibility to do it, unless proper notice has been served and the property owner absolutely refuses. Then the fees are assessed to their property taxes.
Reply:Sometimes, neighborhood or block associateions take on projects such as beautifying an ugly area, or cleaning a lot or park. It brings people together, promotes a sense of togetherness and has more positives than many other things.
Reply:A thought provoking Idea, in few city these cleaning drives are held once in a blue moon whereas it should be done every month at least, more over we should be "MORE RESPONSIBLE" about our environment.
Reply:You have raised a most relavent question. Unless the citizens are aware of their duties and committed for the development or cleanliness of their own city, no civic administration ensure wonders. Civic participation in the civic affairs are a must. Afterall they are civic bodies, not governing bodies.
Reply:Yes, I agree with your context.We always blame Govt/local authorities ...and we do not discharge our own responsibilities.How can municipal staff af about 1000 persons in a small town can expect to serve 3 lakhs population, who does not even courtesy to use dust bins,not maintaining thier own home sarroundings in neat and clean conditions...We just dump the garbage on next vacant plot ..then blame it on Municipality.We can spend huge money on Weddings, Parties, Get togethers,...but we can not collectively afford to appoint a private person at nominal cost to clean and carry a garbage periodically to distant place in outer limits of town.Who bothers about neighbours and home place.We have lot of time to debate on cricket matches,Political matters,Gossips,Iraq wars and film stories...etc., but not for self and local area development.Let us do something about it seriously and constructively.
Reply:Are you working in a Municipal Corporation ??





Every one has their own resposibilities and they are paid for that. If all the municipal corporations become private, People will start working and do their duities. We are paying hell a lot of tax to the government and they are suppose to frame some plans to keep the place neat and clean.





Ofcourse I do agree its everyone resposibilities to take care of their surrondings, but govt should take initiatives for that.
