Clean surroundings are often treated as the responsibility of municipal authorities alone. But no government can keep a city clean if citizens continue to treat public spaces as someone else’s responsibility.
From throwing wrappers on roads to dumping waste near water bodies, small acts of negligence can create problems that affect everyone. Cleanliness is not merely about appearance; it directly affects public health, the environment and our quality of life.
Authorities must ensure proper waste collection and management, but citizens must also play their part. Using public dustbins, reducing unnecessary waste and avoiding littering are simple habits that can make a significant difference.
A cleaner city does not begin with a large campaign. It begins with one person deciding not to throw the next piece of waste on the road.
