I was on a trip to Mount Abu before 3 days and I had seen many historical as well as beautiful sights at there. It was our first family tour and we had no any long trip before this. There is vast difference between Gujarat and Rajasthan in the matter of cleanliness according to my experiences as I have seen.
In Rajasthan, I saw clean roads, clean lake, and no litter around us when We are in public place.
For example, Nakki Lake is clean in comparison to our Kakariya Lake in Gujarat. AMC takes fee of it but they don't take any strict steps against those who are throwing plastic in this lake.
One surprising incident was seen by me before few days ago, when I was in Mumbai. I was setting on the boulevard at Marin Drive and I didn't have a topper of my water bottle. I am very well familiar with all the rules of BMC.But at that moment I don't have a topper and suddenly a man from BMC came up to me and I was asked by him to pay fine of throwing plastic things on beach, which actually wasn't done by me. At last I didn't pay fine as the topper of the bottle was very close to me.
Here, I only mean that they believe in cleanliness, but today I saw many plastic bottles in the Kakariya Lake and I was feeling ashamed as we are still dump people in matter of cleanliness.
Another experience in Mount Abu as I have seen there, when i was not allowed by shopkeeper to give plastic to me because there is ban on the use plastic materials while in Gujarat you are free to throw anywhere where you like.
We need to change our ideas and mentality otherwise It will remain only developing state with our wrong belief.
