Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation's quirky waste management message

Have you ever imagined hearing modified versions of iconic Bollywood dialogues advocating waste management? Well, get ready for phrases like "Puspa I hate kachra", "mere pass bangla hai gaadi hai, to mere pass dustbins hai", "safai rakhne wale ko hi baazigar kehte hain?", "thappad se darr nahin lagta saab, kachre se lagta hai". Intrigued" Wondering why your favorite actors are discussing waste-related issues? If so, then the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation?s (BMC) latest initiative has definitely caught your attention.

The BMC is now utilising these tweaked dialogues on its recently reintroduced twin bins across the city to grab people's attention, aiming to promote proper waste disposal and discourage littering. "The initiative was crafted to engage citizens, motivating them to utilise waste bins for garbage disposal instead of littering public spaces. We aspire for regular use of waste bins," stated Sulochana Das, Mayor.

Recently, BMC reintroduced twin waste bins at strategic locations across the city to address the garbage problem. Previously, all such bins were removed following the implementation of 100% door-to-door waste collection. "The reintroduction of waste bins targeted key areas such as roadsides and commercial zones to ensure cleanliness. Our sanitation vehicles are diligently collecting waste from these bins," explained a senior BMC official.

The public has responded positively to this initiative. "This is quite intriguing. It definitely catches the eye of passers-by. The dialogues are amusing," remarked Patia resident Janmejaya Tripathy.

In another innovative move, BMC is broadcasting cautionary messages through its vehicles to deter littering in public spaces. These voice messages warn of substantial fines for littering. Additionally, the civic body is raising awareness among cattle owners about the consequences of letting their animals roam freely through similar broadcasts. Owners are cautioned that they will face fines if their animals are found wandering in public areas.

While lauded for its innovative waste management measures, BMC acknowledges there is still room for improvement. Social worker Alok Kar noted, "BMC has made strides in waste collection, but waste processing remains a challenge. There's still a long way to go."
