Do You Agree That India Should Introduce The Same Anti-Littering Laws That Singapore Has???

Answer 1

No, even if it is introduced, will have no effect as these type of Law needs a proper infrastructure from the goverment side too.

Answer 2

I absolutely feel that the anti-littering law must b introduced. And i agree to all the people who say tht with the corruption level in india it might just help the officials to get richer by taking bribes..... i even agree to a lot of people who say tht the educated people litter, so its difficult to teach the uneducated ones.

The solution to this problem is having a dust-bin at every few INCHES around the city. Whereas i don't see dust-bins in public areas for miles together. There should be dust-bins in each and every train compartment, at every few steps in a mall. And the punishment for littering should be very high and serious. Infact i've seen the goverment officials littering the city much more than the regular citizens also! Tommorrow when the streets are flooded, we are the people who walk through all the garbage thrown around by all the intelligent people..... yuuuuuuccccckkkkkkkk!!!!!

I think for this or rather any city to improve, first the people who run the admin must improve. For example the BMC garbage trucks are open from the top and front and half the garbage is dropping on the road before it reaches the dump yard! Places like Singapore, US all have a proper garbage truck which is enclsosed from everwhere!

Imagine a lady travelling in FIRST CLASS, well dressed, spik and span, eats an apple and throws the balance out of the window! Would she do this in her own house!!!!! No never!!!! Then why don't we think of the city as our house? If we don't litter in our home, why should we that on the roads?

Answer 3

A law would certainly help. However, a law would only be as effective as its enforcement. If people can get away still by paying bribes, the whole purpose of the law would be defeated. I am sure if enforced with all its vigour it would start showing result. Because, the same people who follow the law in Singapore start littering all around the moment they land in our country. Even the penalty should be severe and there also has to be a strict vigilance over the law enforcers. A strict law can bring about a change in the attitude of the people over a period of time. Once they start following the law, it becomes an habbit . Its high time the government gives a serious thought to enforce such a law. There are many other issues to be handled that go along with keeping the place clean and tidy. There needs to a begining somewhere and let it start with an anti-littering law.

Answer 4

Singapore Litter Laws

Answer 5

Yes, there is a necessary of Introducing The Same Anti-Littering Laws That Singapore Has, but it is not at all possible that the law will be well maintained. Because there are many illiterate people who might be not know about this. The 1st step should be that all people's should be given a required studies for there growth too. Then the a awareness should be created in the minds of people, them there will be a success of the laws which are implemented.

Answer 6

Yes. India should have stricter anti-littering laws like Singapore and this is going to be a good step towards a cleaner Modern India. I am currently living abroad and the one thought that comes to my mind when I see the streets here is 'how clean and litter-free it is'. All Indians who are abroad follows the rules. Why are we having a problem following the rules in our own country? So, a very strict anti-littering law is needed urgently. Local people may be employed to implement it. An immediate fine will be a very good idea as it will be easy to implement and may prove very effective in the long run. If the offence is repeated, the fine should be increased and a community work such as cleaning a public place can be given.

Answer 7

I wonder if the answers to this question has any wieght in public? Probably this Anti-Littering Law has been a dream for many of us to see our metropolitans as clean as Singapore. How was this law enforced in Singapore? The citizens of Singapore had focused on an objective that would attract international business and tourism, being the only source of economic stability. Did the idea succeed? It did, the citizens of Singapore looked at the bigger picture of thier country and with the right attitude they were able to focus on thier objective.

What about us? What is our attitude towards the law mentioned? What is our objective? Can we change? Is India confident in changing? Who should enforce the law is it the goverment or the citizen? What is the citizen's contribution of to the law? Let us do a reality check and then assess our priorities. If our priorities are towards personal gain, then we should create a law that will initially change our priorities then a law such as Anti-Littering Law could be effective.

Answer 8

India is a big country like China. So it's difficult to encourage people not to pollute the whole place.
Although the anti-littering laws should be introduced to both countries, most people might spit or litter at the anti-littering laws instead.
Well as for Singapore -it has a population of four million. *Little* areas in Singapore are increasingly polluted as many foreigners are travelling there for vacation, etc.
So, it may be good to introduce but still, most people will not obey the anti-littering laws.

Answer 9

YES, I am also of the opinion that India should introduce Anti-Littering Laws like Singapore. BUT, before introducing the same India Govt. as well as the State Govt.s should know what is anti-littering and aware the people of the country about that. otherwise the law may become futile or a proverb like "thief will steal but the resident should aware.

Answer 10

Yes of course.India should implement Anti-Littering Laws That Singapore Has.This would definitely work considering that the anti-drinking and driving law was a hit.This was implemented only a few months back,but it decreased the number of drunken driving cases significantly.The law would show the people that the goverment is serious about cleanliness ,woulld not tolerate such beahviour and would atleast manage to create a little bit of fear in the public minds and give them some civic sense.Similarly,anti-littering law can be implemented,provided that the government arranges the necessary infrastructure.(can hire volunteers like retired people and ask them to police their locality only). similarly if u have such society groups working all over the cities it will ensure that the environment remains clean and green,with hardly any cost incurred by the government.The culprits who litter should be fined(minimum Rs 100 for any offence) and if they cannot pay up then made to clean a certain area for a a given timme frame.The fine money then can be utilized to install dust bins and public toilets and also to plant saplings.

Besides this anti littering law is so much better utilization of government time and money than the anti-valentines day or other such ridiculous "laws"!So instead of fining couples for their "indecent " behaviour ,the police can now look for something worthwhile to do!: )

Answer 11

No, I am not agree with your suggestion. The reason is that last year, Chinese Government brought into force an Act to fine who found guilty in spitting in publuc place. This act was brought into force due to forthcoming Olympic Games being held in August, 2008 in Beijing. Now let us see how a cultural habit of spitting can be changed having the force of law of the land. China and India are the two most populous countries in the world and having large percentage of land area in their territories. So how one can get the satisfactory results. British Goverment enforced Indian Penal Code in 1860 which is still in force and what do you think the crime record has come down since then. No not at all. Today, when I came to my office NCERT, New Delhi which is an educational institution, in all our office buildings on the initiative of Delhi Government, a No Smoking bill-board has been painted. The motto of Delhi government is by 2010 when Common Wealth Games will be held in Delhi, this city should be a no smoking zone. Let us see what happens in 2010. One more thing I want to mention that Mahatma Gandhi once said that if I were Dictator for a day I will abolish all distilleries of wine. But on the other hand it is our currency notes on which Mahatma's photo embrossed and the same money public use to buy wine/rum or whiskey from wineshops.

So dear friend do not imitate what others are doing. Singapure a small country and developed country also. Their citizens are well literate and have civil sense like a civilized nation. But here in our country where superstition is supreme you need to have patience to inculcate the basis sense then proceed for other. People in Delhi do not fear to buy a ticket in DTC bus let alone blueline bus in which always two conductors are there to catch this kind of people. So for the time being forget about such kind of laws. Our courts are there to enforce the existing laws which are getting dirt due to administrative lapses. You might be aware that Mr. T.N. Seshan who was the Chief Election Commission an upright man and who effectively enforced the People's Representative Act and all political parties then woke up against him. The same is the story of encroachment and ceiling of property. So not more I want to mention and whatever elaborated above will cerntainly help you.
