                                           SWACH BHARAT--2
                                            ( CLEAN INDIA--2 )

          It appears Swach Bharat Abhiyan launched by PM Narendra Modi is picking up and gaining momentum all around. Even the President of India has joined the movement and came out with brooms in his native village as well as in Rashtrapati Bhavan.it was a good gesture on his part to support a noble cause to clean India.My society where I live also looks much cleaner. Some of the roads on which I travelled after the launch appeared much cleaner. Suffice to say that the mission has become a mission for the nation.
         A celebrety like Sachin Tendulker also came out with his 9 friends to clean the road in Mumbai. Others might also be doing it. A picture of a Rly. Station was loaded on social media showing a clean approach to the station. It was heartening development.
         But much more than this is required to be done to clean India.india is devided in rural and urban areas.Let us take the case of Urban Delhi.After 82 Asiad and 2010 Commonwealth Games , Delhi's roads have been widened and many Flyovers were added. Crores were spent on decorating the roads with flower pots etc. which disappeared on the close of the Games. Where have they gone?Of course, that is not my immediate concern at the moment.My concern is to analyse whether, these roads have been equipped with Public Convenience system. I travel 8 Km. everyday to reach Supreme Court either via ITO or Nizamuddin bridge. During rush hours it takes around 45". There was no public convenience constructed on the road side. People ease themselves on the road side only. Can we find fault with the people alone or Authorities have also to share the blame. It appears some Public Conveniences have been constructed but they are located at such inconvenient places that cars can not be parked there to ease themselves. For the last one year I find all those toilets/ urinals are lying closed.still we expect people to keep the area clean.In market are there is no toilet/urinal located. Was it not the responsibilities for the Corporations to provide such places.My submissions are that Public Convenience must be opened at every market and on the roads which should be kept neat and clean by the authorities. The may charge some nominal fee but not providing such convenient places is criminal
