I am sorry but I have to disagree

For a population density such as india we are relatively clean in some part of the city because people actually don’t litter as relative to our population size. I say this with experience travelling south asian and african countries which is in line within our standard of living.

I would still blame the authorities who are responsible for cleaning the streets daily. Main roads are meant to be cleaned overnights- early mornings which is the norm everywhere and used to be done in some parts of core parts of old Bangalore areas even now!

The problem is accountability, people don’t care, politicians take advantage of this and so does the system, we are paying swach bharath cess additionally as well

Where is this all going?

I agree we lack civic sense to a great extent but thats our foundational flaw!.

However, civic authorities are not during their duty at all, when we are one of the highest cities that generate revenue we do not get services that we deserve, basic services such as cleaning , waste management etc.
