✓
Answer
In our country, fairs are organised periodically. A large number of people participate in them. In the same way, railway stations, bus depots, airports and hospitals are very busy places. Thousands of people visit these place daily which generate a large amount of waste. It must be disposed off properly otherwise epidemics could break out. The government has laid down certain standards of sanitation, but unfortunately, they are not strictly enforced. We should not scatter litter anywhere. If there is no dustbin in sight, we should carry the litter home and throw it in the dustbin.
Conclusion
We all must contribute in keeping our environment clean and healthy. We must realise our responsibility to maintain the water sources in a healthy state. Adopting good sanitation practices should be our way of life. As agents of change, our individual initiative will make a great difference. We should be able to influence others with our energy ideas and optimism. A lot can be done if people work together. There is great power in collective action.
As active citizens, we have many responsibilities regarding sanitation. These can be listed as follows
(i) To ensure that our surroundings are clean.
(ii) To ensure that the sewerage system in our house is properly managed.
(iii) If any leakage or any open drain in the sewerage system is present, then it should be reported to the Municipality or the
Gram Panchayats to insist that the open drain must be covered properly so that several air and water-borne diseases can be prevented.
