This iconic garbage site is in the Jain Mandir Lane that houses Jain owned jewelry shops and the Jain Temple and is in a deplorable state ,, now imagine the attitude and minds of people living in this chawl that houses this garbage site there could be pots of flowers herbal plants instead we have this unkindly sight and we are honestly used to all this .. we have no garbage management , we love to litter and this part of the personality of the Mumbaikar will never change ,,, I know people who carry their garbage in posh cars and throw it on roadside dumps ,, and you can see this happening at St Peter Road Bandra or even Boran Road Bandra .
Even on festival days you will find garbage littered in the lanes ,and perhaps if the Municipality placed CC TV cameras at some of these garbage sites they could catch these habitual garbage throwers , even a fine of Rs 10000 does not deter them , and this is a psychological problem of the Mumbaikars mind it can never be cured , as I have over the years shot so much of garbage and seen garbage from close quarters that garbage is here to stay forever .
The strange part is that the garbage bins placed in every area are not big enough to take the garbage of even two buildings and so every one aims and it falls outside the bins ,, the bins are not at at all aesthetic made of cheap third class material it breaks with too much garbage ,, its made of lousy iron sheets and the Bandra Municipality has no sense of aesthetics , and scrounges on money to spend on these bins forget the miserly attitude towards their Conservancy staff that have no safety shoes , gloves or even masks ,,, just a truck that mocks their efforts of Swach Bharat with hollow words CLEAN UP .as hollow as Swach Bharat itself .. misplaced cleanliness , as rapists bag snatchers , murderers , robbers conmen sodomize rs rule the roost unafraid of our cops and our law and its punishment ,,,
Our Congress Corporator is no help either he is not on Twitter where one could reach him.. and barring Advocate Ashish Shelar our other main representative has no time too see all this and they are beautifying an already beautiful Bandra Bandstand .
The Congress let our area go to seed completely , and so the public gave them a fitting reply , and leaving aside the lone Congress Corporator Bandra Free Congress ,,is the norm.. but thanks to the Beef Ban people might once again forgive the Congress and bring it back to power in Bandra one day.
I am a street photographer and do not belong to any party , my party is Bandra , where I live and all I want our children their children should inherit a Green Clean Bandra .Garbage Free Bandra ...
