Civic Responsibility is Key to Clean Drainage

Regular cleaning of drains by civic authorities is essential, but it is equally important for the public to adopt civic sense and avoid littering. Awareness campaigns, similar to past polio awareness drives, should be implemented at municipal and community levels to educate citizens about the consequences of waste disposal, particularly plastic, which hampers drainage efficiency. Additionally, the construction in low-lying areas exacerbates flooding, highlighting the need for sustainable urban planning that considers drainage systems and natural water flow routes.
