Garbage Menace and Irresponsible Behaviour
A letter to the editor of Star of Mysore highlights the issue of garbage and irresponsible behaviour.
This morning, after dropping my wife off at the bus stop near Dyuti Motors on Hunsur Road, I noticed Kantharaju, also known as Srikanth, diligently picking up garbage along the road leading to Aishwarya Petrol Bunk.
The litter, carelessly thrown by irresponsible people, showed little regard for those who have to manually clean it every day.
I made a U-turn at the signal and returned to speak to him, to let him know that there are people who genuinely appreciate the work he does.
He always wears a smile despite the harsh nature of his job — perhaps resigned to it, simply stuck in circumstances beyond his control.
