gattaca Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) The only to get rid of this Menance and culture is fine them high. 3000 for pan spit and 4000 for pee. But depends on what facilities they are providing like restrooms and how clean they are and trash cans etc. Edited October 17, 2018 by gattaca velu and beetle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But depends on what facilities they are providing like restrooms and how clean they are and trash cans etc. People spit on dustbins. Pee on the floor of toilet . We Indians have very little civic sense out side of our homes. As long as the home is clean....the trash can be thrown in the neighborhood. We are a country where filthy toilet mugs have to be chained in trains. People don't give a damn to the comfort of the next user. We are raised to worship elders and love family and home....not the neighborhood or the facilities. We needed the Prime minister to start a campaign and a large amount of money spent , to get a large number of people to build a basic toilet in their homes. Defaecating in the open has been a part of the culture in most parts of the country. Delhi metro has been able to get people to take pride in it to some extent . People do treat it better than the nornal trains. We need a awareness campaign to get people to take pride in the surroundings. But more importantly....we need people to be shamed and punished in public to get the message across. People need to stop others....but then their have been killings because people dared to stop someone from peeing in the open which has been their birth right for so long.

Straight Drive Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Not at all surprised. See a lot of people spit on road after chewing pan or guthka or even without having anything. Not only the poor class, even a lot of educated working people also do such things. Unless and until the fines are set very high and it does not hurts their wallet, such people will continue doing that. Still it's very tough to get the tail straight.

zen Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Lack civic sense .... still in the 18th-19th century ... we need 100% civic sense literacy rate .... It is hard to find a region more dirty and unhygienic than subcon .... we drink, bathe and throw garbage in the same water system As I have said once I went to the Ind embassy in Toronto and it was smelling like urine .... I hope things have improved Edited October 17, 2018 by zen beetle and Jimmy Cliff 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airport is world class and so is the road leading to/away from the airport. You have to drive a good half hour to enjoy the filth my city has to offer.

dial_100 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Aesthetics, cleanliness, neatness etc is rich man's taste. Poor, or poor middle class is stressed out for his next meal or how he is going to celebrate next festival with limited resources he has at his disposal. For such a person, your social parameters are of no significance. As they get above the basic problems, some part will improve on this front but until then do not blame them. Bring them up on the economic scale rather than judging them. Do you bloddy know that super rich guy is judging you and I that how we lead filthy lives (middle/higher middle class). Its a class problem. velu and The Dark Horse 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk The airport may be world class but people are the same. Last year I was there and I stepped into the stall only to see a huge yellow puddle on the floor. It was disgusting. Same thing( piss on the floor) at Delhi airport a few months back. What was disgusting was that there was an Indian style toilet too which no one seemed to be using. That toilet had a clear drawing of an Indian toilet on the door. Edited October 17, 2018 by beetle velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sachinism Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 People need to be informed, when they do this nonsense, it's their money being spent on cleaning it. Though I presume many of the defacers probably aren't paying taxes in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a class problem. Partly class problem ....but mostly a problem of priority. People have been making pakka houses and going in the fields in a large part of the country. A toilet should be planned before planning a kitchen. People throwing garbage around the dustbin is not a class problem. We can bury our head in the sand but we as a people do not have the best civic sense.

Vilander Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 there are several under bridges in Chennai outside every EMU/Suburban station. They build it fresh - after opening in the next few weeks there will be gawkers and fruit sellers in the side - police will come and try to displace them - then take mamool ( usual) and let them stay, eventually the whole place will turn to ****. There is no planning to make the sidewalks into a stripmall etc - the municipalities do not have enough money to build big underground units. This is a common sight. Chennai is a poor city, meaning lack of money to do right. This is not surprising at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The govt should increase tax on chewing tobacco and zarda a hundred times and call it cleaning your filth tax. Here is another way to control spitting pan/gutka in public places. Use social media to defame those idiots. No body is supporting that. I was stating that to keep these social mannerism is more established urge among educated class. Such changes dont occur in a day or 2. Do you realize that we got our freedom 70 years ago and i have seen Swacchata abhiyan taking momentum for the first time in my life. If citizens start explaining the others with love and concern, to obey these mannerism to make our country better then it will work out. Again, dont bring in urinating and pan/gutka here in the discussion. Those need to be dealt with different measures besides being disgusting to discuss about. I think this will require change in overall mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
