மக்கள் மனநிலை மாறாதவரையில், எதுவும் நடக்காது அண்மையில் சென்னை கோயம்பேடு காய்கறி சந்தைக்குச் சென்ற பொழுது கண்ட காட்சி அப்பொழுதுதான் மாநகராட்சி ஊழியர்கள் கடைகளின் முன் உள்ள குப்பைகளை, இயந்திரம் மூலம் வாரி எடுத்துச் சென்றனர் அதுவரை பொறுமை காத்த ஒரு கடைக்காரர், அவர்கள் சென்ற பின்னர் தன் கடையிலிருந்து பெரும் குப்பையை கடை முன்னால் பரத்திவிட்டார் அவரிடம் ஏன் அப்படி செய்தீர்கள் எனக் கேட்ட பொழுது, " கட முன்னாலே வழிச்சுத் தொடச்சு வைச்சா வியாபாரம் நடக்குமா?" என்றார் குப்பையில்தான் லக்ஷ்மி இருப்பதாக அவர் நம்புகிறார் என்ன செய்ய? இலை விற்பவர் கடை முன்னால் குப்பைகளைப் போடுவதோடு எச்சில் துப்பி அசுத்தம் செய்கிறார் கடை வைத்திருப்பவர் நடக்கும் வழியில் காய்கறிகளை வைத்திருக்கிறார் கேட்டால் யாரேனுமொருவர் கடை முன்னால் சிறு கடை போடுவதனைத் தடுக்க என்று சொல்கிறார் கடைக்காரர் சடக்கென திரும்பி எச்சில் துப்புவதோடு பலரும் அருகிலேயே இயற்கை உபாதைகளைக் கழிக்கவும் செய்கிறார்கள் கேட்பதற்கு ஆளில்லை கேட்டால் "அவன் பாப்பாரப் பையன் அதான் சுத்தம் பத்தியெல்லாம் பேசுறான்" என திட்டுகிறார். மேலே குறிப்பிட்ட அனைத்துமே சாத்தியமே ஆனால் யார் முன்னின்று, தொடர்ந்து செய்வது?

Already Corporation is charging every day Rs.5 from each vendor in vegetable market under this mission what is their responsibility more  
Rs.5. OMG so much.
I think government should return the 5 rupees and ask the vendors to keep the venue clean. more  
It is the responsibility of every individual for keeping markets clean. But, i also feel to make govt officials also equally responsible. They are not appointed just to write challans and in that name loot money of the shopkeepers. They should also be equally responsible for the cleanliness. Pl dont make laws/rules where they will give room for corruption. Already we have lot of such laws/rules in place. more

These are very logical steps. BUT WHO IS GOING TO IMPLEMENT THEM. LET US BRING ABOUT TRANSPASRENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND STRONG INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK WITHOUT WHICH NOTHING IS GOING TO BUDGE EVEN AN INCH. LET US GET DOWN TO REAL BUSINESS RATHER THAN ADDING TO PLETHORA OF RULES, REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES AND THEN LEAVE THEM TO ROT! more
