There's an apartment in Nehrunagar, Seshadripuram, and the maids and residents of the apartment, EVERY single day create a garbage dump outside on the footpath. There's a garbage vehicle parked 60m from this spot. They would rather dump on the footpath than walk 60m to throw the trash in the garbage pickup auto.
Do women not have diabetes? Why do I NEVER see a woman urinating on the roads?
There's a public toilet 280m away. Free petrol bunk washroom 100m away.
Recently a video i posted here confronting an auto driver went viral.
How many viral videos needed before this stops?
Translation of the text on the wall - 'Keep clean'
What's amex doing here?
This used to be spend 8L and get 35k voucher.
He learns the hard way that you cannot get away with anything. Before commentators start to defend him, understand that we spent months getting the footpath cleaned and encroachments removed.
Sometimes it's very simple. Invest at the dip if the company fundamentals are good or if there's new of a takeover by a better company, or if there's any good news in the supreme court

GBA (Central) Solves Footpath Encroachment With One Simple Trick: Turn It Into a Construction Dump.
​
Credit where it's due. After repeated complaints, GBA (Central) finally took action against an illegal structure encroaching on the footpath in Nehru Nagar. The demolition squad arrived, the structure came down, and for a brief moment I believed in governance again.
​
Unfortunately, my optimism lasted about as long as the demolition itself.
​
The illegal structure is gone. In its place now sits a beautiful pile of rubble, broken concrete, debris, and assorted demolition leftovers occupying... wait for it... the footpath.
​
So technically, the encroachment has been removed and replaced with government-approved encroachment.
Pedestrians who were earlier forced onto the road to avoid the illegal structure can continue using the road to avoid the demolition debris. Consistency in public service is commendable.
​
I must appreciate the efficiency here. Why waste resources clearing the footpath when you can simply convert the encroachment into a different shape? The obstacle has evolved, not disappeared.
​
It's a masterclass in civic problem-solving:
Receive complaint.
Demolish illegal structure.
Leave the remains exactly where people need to walk.
Declare mission accomplished.
At this point, I assume Phase 2 of the project involves waiting for nature, monsoon rains, and the passage of time to clear the debris.
​
Nehru Nagar residents can rest easy knowing the footpath has been liberated from private occupation and returned to its natural state as a rubble storage facility.

A couple of things I want to understand. Why do comment sections flood with defending public urinators?
Second, why do Indians see a compound wall as a urinal?
These clowns ran away while pulling their pants up.
How come I never see a woman urinating in public?
