Inaugurated the Gazdarbandh Pumping Station today. Extremely happy to do so, as with this pumping station, a lot of Bandra West, Juhu, Santacruz will have relief from waterlogging. This station can pump out 36,000 litres of water per second to help us give relief to Mumbaikars. pic.twitter.com/MjxTzV3I5N

This is what we do to our beloved city and the @mybmc cleans for us! This is one chamber at one pumping station in one nullah. Imagine the rest. Let’s not do this to our city. Let’s not litter. pic.twitter.com/tSspOFb5WW

We people of Mumbai are responsible for that. We should not throw garbages anywhere.
Dear Aditya, need Govt push so big companies set collection centers across nooks n corners. Its actually simple through regular Raddi Wallas by giving Technical platform for collection and selling back to big players like Coke, Pepsi, Parle etc. Let's make #SwiggyZomatoOfWaste

Perhaps Shaming Littering! Fines by police! USA went hard on pollution in 70’s campaigns. The sense of pride to not litter was instilled for years. POINT IT OUT! Point at people who trash India. Every Body point it out. Shame them a bit. They will stop ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0099u00c2u008fðu00c2u009fu00c2u008f»

Ban plastic completely. We need somebody to put डà¤u00c2u0082डा on us all the time.

Teaching of simple civic sense is becoming more and more important now. Rather than fining citizens they should be asked to do community service or take cleanliness drives with authority for monitoring.

Dear Mumbaikars please cooperate & don't throw waste on road.

Fine should be levied. No litter sign boards should be installed. Else the mess continues and nobody seems to care
