The air is abuzz with the call from the top to keep the environs around the land’s people free from garbage, with emphasis on urban space across the country. No such call is heard in the rural parts prompting the inference that the rustics are either not noticing untidy areas amidst themselves or not unduly concerned about the state of living spaces. Further, they may even be generating garbage in negligible quantities, and added to that, they may be dealing with the offending mass by following the expression that converting waste into wealth is testimony to progress of the country. Thanks to the countrywide paucity of toilets, the issue of open defecation by residents of villages, with rare exception was bestowed open debates in a multitude of circles including the nation’s parliament like never before. All questions seem to have been answered with regard to answering nature’s call by the masses.
Urbanites and rustics are clearly different kettles of fish in the way the residents of the two distinct regions of the country generate rubbish. The former sections have the unconquerable habit of tossing waste at will on roadsides as well as near eateries, wetting the walls of public buildings, spitting all over pavements and dirtying the living spaces without a bother.
