Where Is The Punishment for Garbage Throwers?


B.Vaikunth Shenoy, member, Mysore Grahakara Parishat writes

Mysore City Corporation has published advertisements in papers threatening to fine anyone who throws garbage on the streets. The three-wheelers which come to collect garbage from each household every morning also carry a warning that people who throw garbage on the streets will be fined. But these threats remain only on paper and we do not know of anyone who has actually been fined for littering the streets. Some neighbours of Ravi Nursing Home (1st Main and 3rd Cross, Yadavagiri) are dumping huge amounts of garbage on the streets (See Photo) and despite complaints to MCC, no action has been taken and garbage continues to fall, spoiling the entire surroundings. Will MCC wake up and punish the guilty?
