Kiran Bedi, Former IPS officer & LG of Puducherry on why people should take the responsibility of keeping their surrounding clean

It's the people who litter and have littered. They create dirt and then suffer and complain about government's incompetency. Why are you increasing the government's work? First you yourself are creating a problem and then complaining about it. Why do you throw waste in drains? Why don't you use dustbins so that garbage collectors can collect it? So, it's very important for people to create problems for themselves. Either you will say that it's your neighbor who creates waste. If neighbor does it then there should be a complaint system.

If you are clean then it's everything. If you are not clean, then you are not healthy. Cleanliness and health are two sides of the same coin. You are healthy because you are clean. If you are clean, you will be healthy and that will lead to more work and earning. But if you are not clean or hygienic, you won't be healthy and that will result in reduced income. In fact, your money will be spent on your treatment and healthcare. Only if you will stay clean and healthy, Lakshmi, known as the goddess of wealth and purity, will come to your house. Therefore, it is your selfishness to stay clean and healthy. If you start believing in cleanliness, your mentality will also be clean. you behaviour also starts becoming clean. your surroundings also start to become clean. you will talk pure.
