Daijiworld Media Network - Sullia (SP)

Sullia, Jul 6: The town panchayat here imposed a fine of Rs 1,000 on a student who was seen throwing a bundle of garbage by the roadside in the town.

A garbage bundle was found lying near the old PWD office in the town on Friday morning. The spot has a board specifically barring disposal of waste there.

As the people continued to throw waste there, the officials had installed two CCTV cameras. The officials checked the CCTV cameras and found that a person who arrived in a motor bike had thrown this waste. A closer verification enabled them to identify the person as a degree course student residing in a rented room here.

The officials went to the room hired by the student but he was not available. They locked his room and conveyed information asking him to visit the town panchayat. After he visited the town panchayat office, he was fined Rs 1,000 and let off with a warning.

    CCTV are a danger. Though the intention is to catch culprits, with CCTV every nefarious person who has access to it will create another avenue for corruption and to blackmail innocent people. It is just a matter of time.

    We have underused, lazy and possibly corrupt law enforcement who should be doing more to safeguard society and implement the law.

    Cleanliness starts at home. Remember that due to natural cycles you may well end up eating the garbage that you throw out carelessly.

    Once recently, while we were travelling on the bridge crossing a river, the car in-front of us stopped, the driver got down and tossed a plastic bag into the river. We too stopped, took a picture of him along with the car reg-number. He noticed it and came to us to ask the reason for our clicking the picture.

    We said we will send it to civic authorities, reporting his throwing something into the river. He said those are flower used in worship which are customary to be discarded into the river. We asked what about the bag that contained them. What if it ended into some canal and many adding to it caused a blockage. He had no reply.

    The customs need to change according to times. The dry flowers might be degradable but the bag will remain intact for more than a decade. Please modify your worship methods to discard your material in a nature-friendly manner, don't add to the burden mother earth is already bearing.

    You are still immersed in 70 years history ? Please drive from Kowdoor towards Bajpe and watch the sides of the road to try and count the garbage mounds collected on the road sides. This didn't come from 70 years - it couldn't even be two years. Also its not any far from your locality. What have you done to reduce it ? I have - I am in contact with local Panchayat despite being an outsider !

    Don't blame the governments - the accumulation is by local people.

    Everybody not same like you. We are a born saints. If you not adhere the rules and not have civic sense it's not of our mistake. Let us start by oneself...latter it will grow manifold to keep city clean. We need first to regularise growing population. It's threat to society. Need to ensure one child policy.

    Shah Nawaz,

    Is it not equal to doing same what you did in your home country, in your present place of stay too ?

    Try tossing something out of Metro, DXB Transport Bus or your car. Lets see the fun when you argue with them that you did right because it happens in your native place.

    Nothing new. The city officials should put garbage bins at every corner of the streets so that people can throw the garbage in it. This garbage can be picked up daily by the concerned authorities and the see the outcome.

    Good initative taken by gram panchyat. Publicise so much with his photo and fine amount with different hoardings so that next time people think twice to throw garbage on road. Due to which during monsoon even blockage of drainage system.

    Excellent job, MCC should similarly install CCTVs to monitor the idiots who throw the thrashes as their birth right in undesignated areas.
    Also traffic violatiors should be highly fined in similar way.

    Sorrryyyy.... I too shouldn't have been so curt...

    Yeah.. the rest too need be punished but its not possible because the camera wasn't there then. To be subjecting it to investigation in order to find its source is too much for a bag of garbage.

    I am very happy at this. Install vigilance at many more locations - there will be a lot of revenue coming.

    Its not the money, its the discipline. He has not learnt cleanliness from KG to College ? About properly discarding of garbage - not he alone - 90% of the people living in Karnataka are irresponsible about dealing with their own garbage. Despite knowing that they are paying tax in advance to do-away the waste that is collected. Their only job is to keep the garbage at designated points, not toss it away at public places. Even this much they can't do.

    Why should we hold the municipality responsible for dirty surroundings and spread of epidemics ? Lets first do our duty, rest all will be proper.

    Great job by the panchayat.

    I think Rs 1,000 fine is too little to deter people. A 5,000 fine would wake them up (and also cover the cost of the CCTV).

    Am amazed that a college student does not understand the meaning of littering.
