Cleanliness in Tier 3/4 towns – Root Causes
Below are the Key Issues as listed by you for the State of Cleanliness in Tier 3/4 towns in India.
Please help identify the Root Causes of these issues. Once we know them, we will work on identifying solutions through a separate post.
The objective would be to develop a comprehensive whitepaper that can be shared with Mayors/Municipal Corporations of such towns and request actions.
Many of such towns in India have heritage/history behind them and if cleaned up effectively, it can drive much more tourism and development there.
Look forward to your inputs!
