I just visited a village in Meghalaya which is touted as one of the cleanest in Asia and it was an experience visiting the place. People should feel proud about their villages /towns. Can the government do a sample survey of villages/ towns and rank them based on their cleanliness/ sanitation facilities etc.? Names of the cleanest villages should be published and panchayets running these to be awarded to encourage cleanliness. Also , we have some many religious leaders preaching everyday on television channels. Can the government approach them and request them to preach cleanliness before starting their daily sermons? Surely spirituality can't exist without cleanliness. more

What are the gram panchayats and local municipalities doing about it. This should be one of their prime responsibilities. Simultaneously development of proper sewage system and sewage treatment and recycle plants have to come in large numbers. Other than Kumbhs and such large gathering the highways be it national or state are also being effected badly. So both NHAI and SHA should plough back aportion of the Toll being collected for creation of such infra structure. The sanitory authorities are also defunct and only visits sites to get a deal rather than do their job. They need to be made answerable. more
