Waste Dumping, on the way….

Chennai is notorious for using walls and transforms as urinals and roads as dumping grounds. This has been noted by many bloggers, journalists and even (maybe) corporation officials. But, nothing seems to stop us from just throwing waste around. Throwing waste around is bad, but using the roads as dumping yard is worse still. Please take a look at the picture below.

This picture shows that using the roads as dumping ground is not only considered a highway to paradise, but also happens so systematically that people are going to say the system is defeated if dumping waste on the roads (the fringes though) is strict a no no.

From my experience with certain other countries (very limited though), I can confidently say that people make the system they want to be in and not the other way round. With such sightings around Chennai, I’m sure we have a long way to go to be recognized as a mature society, leave out being called a “developed” place. Anyway, my promise to not do such things is only reinforced wit such sightings. And I sincerely hope many more people join the brigade.
