Dear Editor,
The Swacch Bharat Abhiyan, Alunched in 2014, was a good initiative by the government. It, however, has not made any difference. The so-called educated middle class can still be seen throwing packets of eatables from their cars, thinking somebody else will clean the road. Then there are religious stalls on highways, offering food, but forgetting to place garbage bins. Cleanliness is a collective effort that requires cooperation from each and every citizen. In the absence of bins, one can keep a waste packet and later dispose it off in a bin at home, or elsewhere. This little effort from our side will go a long way in keeping the nation clean.
Richa Jain,
