I DREAM OF PURE AIR, WATER AND IMMACULATE ENVIRONMENT IN INDIA ..IS IT UTOPIA ???
when you see all the rubbish in road side corners of INDIA , I think first of those people in Municipality doing nothing and just remaining a spectator of the dirt in their town that falls under their management. Then , I think of the foreign tourists visiting INDIA : they will surely have a low opinion of our people ; they will think that all Indians have a lethargic and egoistic mentality and are unconscious, individualistic and insensitive of the environment calamity they are causing. They care only of the hygiene inside their house and don't care about what happens outside their living place...but, when the outside water or air pollution becomes suffocating , the people inside their houses are no more spared.. they have to harvest in the evening what they sowed in the morning as a Tamil saying goes. Political egoism and individual egoism are two poisons that will cause many unimaginable diseases for which man-made medicines will not work. Is this what our ancestors called "kali yuga" ..It is a pity that due to the lack of efficiency of municipality and councillors who don't care about the people who elected them, people have to suffer such a health disaster. Moreover, these political people have large funds but lack technical knowledge to buy adequate equipment like a lorry specifically designed for collecting wastes . This lorry should pass early in the morning and collect the wastes in specific mobile dustbins that Municipality should distribute to every citizen as in France. The Mayor should also vote a resolution by council members to make it mandatory for every citizen to put in specific mobile dustbins , failing which they will have to pay fines as in FRANCE. Municipality should give also adequate equipments to the personnel who collect wastes. These municipal employees should be given neat uniform and treated with respect as also the case in foreign countries. Municipality should invest in mechanised instruments like "wind blower" to make the work of those cleaners more efficient. Watering vehicle with a rotating circular brush cleans the road more efficiently than thousand people, as they drive , It is also necessary to water the roads after public works so that people are not inhaling dust while they sleep. Municipality should make it mandatory for every citizen to put in specific mobile dustbins , failing which they will have to pay fines as in FRANCE. we elect people for a JOB but we have to do their JOB. That should change and elected municipal people should think of the public interest which is also their own. what is needed is also sending our municipal officers to foreign countries for training and they should also come back to apply technology in their respective fields. I think France is very advanced in know-how concerning recycling and collecting wastes. They have immense experience and possess an exceptional organisational skill in waste management that should be replicated after adapting it to Indian ground reality. Last but not least, adequate laws should organise this sector more in terms of protecting our ecology and controlling pollution by severely punishing those industrialists who dump waste in public place and banning foundries and workshops inside residential areas strictly. In FRANCE they have a concise way of putting it ; "pollueur payeur" that is he who pollutes should pay and the industrialists who pollute is heavily fined and asked to take every step to put filtering machines so that he releases in nature only what is acceptable to public health...We should stop the pollution at it's very source and not go after it once it is released with total impunity in our breathing space BY MAKING IT MANDATORY FOR INDUSTRIALISTS TO HAVE EQUIPMENTS TO FILTER THEIR WASTE . Those "white collar" criminals in coat and suit should be made accountable for what they do to the public. Let them do their job after respecting those conditions. Confining industries in specific zones is mandatory so that common man does not breathe toxins and die a premature death. To summarize, 1) we need to inject technology in our process of collecting and managing waste and 2) need to have adequate equipments of high standards. 3) we have to include in school curriculum subjects concerning technical environmental management and managing hygienic and ecology issues in concerned Ministry of forest and environment etc . 4) Laws should be chiseled out to fit this sector. 5) Jobs in waste management and recycling should be made more attractive by their technical implication and content. 6) Recruiting engineers and technicians of high standard should enhance our capacity in waste collection by more mechanisation and implication of people in the organisation and in the whole process of collection of household or industrial waste.
