Question
Is community protest viable in a municipality?

Answer

An individual sometimes cannot make the government act but the community can do wonders. In a small town of Pune, inaction of municipality led to collection of garbage. Children started falling ill. Despite repeated requests to the local councillor there was no action. As a consequence, the local women gathered and along with the local councillor sat on a mass protest outside the Mayor’s office. When no action was still taken, women surrounded the local corporation office and made a noisy protest. The corporation was forced to remove the garbage and promised not to neglect it in future.
