BMC is not only responsible for this. It's the public too, those who are not concerned about where they throwing the garbage. Even a polythene in a drain effects the flow of the water. It starts from small drains and goes upto river level. But it's high time not only BMC, but govt should think about water harvesting at places like public parks, parking lots, playing grounds etc. So that it can be used in different ways. REALLY, IT'S HIGH TIME. THINK

You are right. Take any situation, we want govt and its machinery to do everything for us. It is a pity that the very same people go to other countries and observe cleanliness codes and keep those cities beautiful. why cant we citizens think of not buying banned polybags, stop throwing garbagge to drains and streets.. We can also make a samll change to effect a big one.

Blame it on Govt / BMC or ourselves! Considering the above statement, in the advanced or developed or beautiful countries...there are dustbins on the roads / streets every 100 metres which are emptied and cleaned by the garbage collectors everyday! Does this happen in India? As responsible citizens our duty is to throw garbage in garbage bins, BUT it is the Govt's duty to provide the garbage bins! If this facility is not provided by the Govt, where will the people throw the garbage?
