The
civic bodies are entrusted with different works for relief
to the common people. Whenever these bodies are found lacking
in their works, there is resentment among the people. The
state government has issued orders to the civic bodies for
making available basic services to the people. The government's
ire against these bodies is justified as works pertaining
to cleanliness, drinking water, street lighting and others
are not satisfactory. Disposal of garbage is no doubt a gigantic
problem with the civic bodies. And in private colonies this
problem is worse still. The government's dilly dally on curbs
on the use of polythene bags has ended in waste poly bags
all over the towns and cities. Storm water drains are built
but never covered properly. As a result, the drains get filled
up with mud and other waste matter. If the drains are not
cleaned before rains then the water flows on the roads instead
of the drains. Many colonies do not have proper drainage system
and the sewer water is connected to storm water drains. This
leads to unhygienic surroundings and breeding by mosquitoes.
Pigs also gather around such places. It is time the civic
body checks the misuse of storm water drains. The government
has provided public toilets only in some market areas. It
is hoped this facility is provided at more places and the
people be encouraged to use them properly. Awareness among
the people regarding cleanliness and hygiene would make the
job of the civic bodies easier.
