By Following Instruction

Unfortunately, due to the huge influx of tourists, the plateau also now sees a proportional increase in trash.

• why people cannot take their picnic rubbish back with them?


• What pleasure does anyone get by defiling nature with empty chips packets, plastic Bisleri bottles and worse still, broken glass beer bottles?


• Most of these litterers are educated people who consciously throw rubbish in such places, knowing fully well that they are destroying the environment by doing so. They just could not care less.


• Some of the local village schoolchildren near Kas,they and students from surrounding schools, are taken to Kas and made to collect all the litter.


• Very noble, but is it fair for these poor children to clear other peoples rubbish that ought not to have been generated in the first place?


• How much can the authorities do if our collective "intelligent" Indian littering mentality does not change.
