IndianRenegade Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Pick a city, enforce the hell of out of it. Slowly expand it. This also needs political buy in, all major political parties should kind of be on the same page. No politics on the enforcement action. kosingh 1
kepler37b Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Population density is just ONE of the factors. Even our Tier 2 towns that are NOT so dense look filthy. The main issue is the selfishness of average indian. sorak and randomGuy 1 1

The main issue is the selfishness of average indian. Municipal bodies as well. Most of them are corrupt and incompetent. Osman Sagar Lake and Himayath Sagar are pretty well maintained at the entrance... But on the opposite side, they are full of garbage. Balapur lake is well maintained, just 1 km from there is Shukhur lake which is absolute filth. Shamirpet lake used to be so beautiful, now you'll get foul smell everywhere.

Laaloo Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Tobacco venom spitters are the worst. They should be heavily penalized for polluting in India and abroad. We already see fines in the UK. Lord and Lone Wolf 2

In Surat, they tried to do the same but the parents revolted and they stopped doing it. Sad to know, If we won’t even let the next generation learn basic civic responsibility, how can any amount of city planning ever fix what’s broken? Laaloo 1
Laaloo Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Saw a pujari pour 11000 liters of milk yesterday with people cheering into narmada river. Also saw videos of other devotees throw so much ghee into rivers. Also saw a video from a few months back of people throwing adulterated kilograms of kilograms sweet boxes into river. If this is how we treat what we worship, how can we develop civic sense?

EnterTheVoid Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Our guys just have no civic sense when in India. When they go overseas however, they tow the line of the host country in terms of cleanliness. It's a cultural thing more than anything else, IMO.
Nikhil_cric Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Massive urban sprawl is probably the biggest issue as well. The rich elites in India are completely liable for this , being hand in glove with the state governments Instead of being allowed to live in villas and bungalows and trying to build car centric infrastructure at the behest of the elites, cities should have built themselves vertically and invested heavily in trains and buses and used mixed zone planning to encourage walking and cycling Bangalore is a classic example of how rich, old money South Bangaloreans and the noveau riche IT crowd both screamed for villas and other projects in and around the CBD areas and the old residential areas and completely destroyed the city. It just makes everything tougher - commute , effective waste management etc. Lord 1
Lord Posted April 12 Posted April 12 No strong laws on this.The rich and powerful stay in gated societies or abroad. Law and order anyway is broken in India. Can get away with anything if you are connected

Hence they do not identify the importance of communal assets like roads, rivers, parks etc.,. Hence they litter it like hell. The extremely high population density The extremely high diversity that makes execution of projects for public good very difficult For example, if some one wants to expand public park in a country like israel, the people who loose the private land are less obstructive as they think that it is being done for "their" people and "their" culture The solution is hard implementation of Hindutva on a national scale. India must turn into a single language (Sanskrit), Single faith(Hindu) and Single culture state. Diversity is extremely harmful for economic growth. Many multicultural countries do fine in this though.
