Mangaluru, Nov 05, 2014: The residents of Valencia are using the Gandhigiri style protest against the litter next to the road. They have not only installed the CCTV camera to monitor the place but also have kept a flowerpot over a table after cleaning the place.

 

 

The road which goes behind the Roshini Nilaya School of Social Work to Seminary View is as narrow as the one way road. A few people of the nearby houses used to spill the waste at the roadside instead of giving it to the waste collectors. The locals tried various methods to stop this menace, since it was irritating for the pedestrians to walk on the road. Raged by the attitude of a few stingy people, the residents have cleaned the place and have installed a CCTV camera to monitor the place. Along with it, they have also placed a flowerpot over a table kept at the clean place. They have put up a banner which displays the message of the fine and also the names and phone numbers of the waste collectors.

 

Only time will tell the effectiveness of this Gandhigiri style of protest.
