Cleaning Urban India: More System Failure than People

Nearly a month is near to end since our PM started campaign to clean India. Though it started from Valmiki Colony in Delhi, the Page 3 celebraties invited for the cleaning opearation inclucing many wealthy attracted eye balls from media. The publicity and oops moments of the stars are seen near the nallas of Mumbai to Bangalore and Kolkata. Does this intigated the citizens, check the reality facts at least in cities 60-80 of the streets are supposed to be cleaned by employees of Municipalities (of course street dust and occassional wastes), door to door collection of waste is done, citizens have come out to give waste to collectors. Whereever there is lack of services the waste is still lying on the floors. Of course media cannot go beyond India Gate and Lutians Delhi to show case clean roads and yards of Bunglow sprite clean by the NDMC. The accidental street sweepers did not like themselves to be photographed with regular employees but carried out their own schedule for the photo-ops.
