Diwali and fireworks
Saturday, December 04, 2004
This diwali, Punekars had fireworks of 8 crore. PMC earned 15 lakh 47 thousand. Even the firework traders must have earned lakhs of bucks. It’s all ok.
But if you go to the place near Mhatre Bridge where the fireworks trade was going on, what will you see? A lot of plastic garbage everywhere. Now whose responsibility is it to keep the area clean? Isn’t it responsibility of the traders to take care they don’t throw garbage? Traders had their profit, PMC got its tax, citizens bought their fireworks and everything is over.
People enjoyed the fireworks on the road lying heaps of garbage on the road. Isn’t it our responsibility to take care to clean at least the portion of road we ruined? Isn’t it better we keep at least part in front of our home clean rather than shouting at PMC?
