The surface of the entrance to Panambur Beach is filled with black charcoal. The trucks carrying charcoal, petroleum, etc. from the nearby Port are allowed to enter tourist beaches! This is a turnoff for international tourists.
Hope the people and the city corporation officials wake up and improve the sanitation especially in these localities and throughout the city.
I understand that these problems are found throughout India, not just Mangalore. The private buses are an exception though. In any ATM kiosk, the floor is littered with bills. Firecrackers are relentlessly busted during festivals throughout the night. Loudspeakers with amplifiers are played throughout the day and night during feasts. Indians never care about rules. Indians also lack civic-sense.
Unless the cleanliness and pollution rules are made more strict, people will go on polluting places. There are a substantial number of law-abiding citizens, but their efforts and discipline unfortunately are in vain.
Will some people stop the practice of littering in public spaces?
Will the city corporation appoint many more personnel to sweep and clean up the public spaces?
Will those ancient private buses stop emitting thick smoke?
Why aren't any action taken against these private buses when they are well past their expiry date?
However, nowadays the police patrolling has increased immensely in Mangalore, which is a very very good sign.
The police force in Mangalore is something to be proud about. Hope their numbers increase further in the coming days.
I sure hope the Mangalore Police force also takes very strict action against littering and those private buses, traffic offenders and also vandalism of public property.
But few improvements are still remaining, especially in the western parts of the city, places centered around the old port and the new port areas. Roads need improvement, albeit many have been recently white-topped. The river sides around Boloor to Bengre need plenty of cleansing and improvement. Many overseas tourists are visiting these places every week. There should be heavy fines imposed for littering on public places, and also on river sides.
Software companies, Research labs, etc. will be much better for Mangalore, compared to the Petrochemical industries which pollute the environment. When there are plenty of colleges in this city, people migrate to other places. Petrochemical industries will only increase the air pollution and contaminate the water bodies in the months to follow. Earlier the tile factories used to cause pollution, now thankfully most of them have shut down.
Electric buses need to be introduced, and like Singapore, high vehicle taxes need to be imposed. There should be transparency from the Government as well, as to how the taxes are utilized for the welfare of the people.
My observations apply to all the places of India, and not just Mangalore.
People in India have a big ZERO civic sense. People from that large Indian community X burst plenty of fire-crackers on their N number of festivals. The air throughout India is horrible. The Air Quality Index within India ranges from Bad to Worst. Browse the internet,and compare this with the Western countries, and you'll know what I'm talking about. Even the most polluted places in Europe, Australia and USA have far better air quality than the purest AQI places in India !! Absolutely Real Genuine Fact.
People throughout India are extremely selfish and narrow-minded. They are hell-bent in keeping their houses and premises clean, but will turn all the public places ugly and filthy. The vehicle horns are blown for no reason and are extremely annoying and disgraceful.
PG posters are stuck on light-poles and other walls in public places. People vote for liars and criminals, and they are free to rule this country. The Indian media is highly biased and a puppet of politicians. India ranks 140 in the Press Freedom Index.
Walk into any ATM kiosk in India and find it littered with receipt papers all over the floor. First, people are stupid to print it, but still can't they even put that paper into the dustbin? This is how stupid and pathetic Indians are, in reality. Is there any significance of those eyewash campaigns like "Swachh Bharat", "Acche Din", "Elimination of black money", etc.?
There is massive amount of corruption in the roads and PWD department, and hence India has the worst quality of roads and highways in the world. All the politicians in India are crooks, ignorant and liars. Throughout India, people vote for Religion, Caste or Language and not for Development.
These bus owners and Petrochemical tycoons are hand-in-glove with the present MP and MLAs of Mangalore.
The western parts of this city such as Bunder, Hampankatta, Central Market and Hoige bazaar are extremely dirty. Hampankatta being the centre place is still the same as it was 20 years ago. All business people stay at Hampankatta and they are not at all bothered about cleanliness. The City Corporation does nothing to improve the infrastructure of the above mentioned localities. Hampankatta junction road is filled with potholes. There are filthy posters and flexes pasted on street light-poles and walls.
The City Private Bus stand near Hampankatta is horribly filthy and it stinks. It has been in the same condition for atleast 15 years. There is a fish market right next to the city's main bus stand !!!
There are no roofs, and the city bus stand is much worse than bus terminals of sub-Saharan African cities. Private buses in Mangalore horn unnecessarily, as if they rule the roads and cause a lot of noise pollution.
People elect their Mangalore uneducated representatives only based on religion, and not on merit. They only sleep-off their 5 year Term, and do absolutely nothing.
Mangalore is home to industries such as MRPL, KIOCL and Zuari MCF which spew out gallons of thick black smoke into the air 24x7. Mangalore is a very dirty city and the people as well as their elected representatives are least bothered. Cowardly Mangalore people are only good for migrating into some other city, and never care about their hometown.
Our neighbour has got many local Mangalore politicians and Karnataka politicians as his contacts, and the city police is also accepting bribes from him. They will only support him, and not me.
I am suffering due to the severe air pollution caused my neighbor in Mangalore.
I totally disagree with the pollution statistics of Mangalore, in this website.
The answer is only regarding Pollution and cleanliness. I have no idea about other factors regarding Mangalore.
The reason behind the pollution and cleanliness stats for Mangalore are as follows:
1. Mangalore is a very small city in terms of both area (135 sq. km) and population (600,000)
2. It is Coastal city surrounded by forests and rivers.
3. Mangalore receives extremely heavy rainfall during the 4 months of monsoon.
4. Cleanliness drives are active throughout the city. It is a very small city, and hence it is easy maintain cleanliness.
But during the last 2-3 years, vehicles have increased considerably in Mangalore. Traffic is also increasing at a moderate rate. Further urbanization will certainly lead to Mangalore featuring in the polluted cities of India.
