Thane-City of lakes or City of garbage??

Thane's proximity to Mumbai and the fact that it is pretty much unMumbai(I just coined the term sorry and unMumbai because it's away from the maddening crowd, knock on wood!) together make it a nice place to stay in but hey there is one serious issue the city is grappling with..Thane may have been the city of lakes but that's a thing of past now..no no the lakes havn't disappeared(lol!!)...they are pretty much in place...it's just that garbage has taken over now..making it, I'm sorry to say, nothing short of a dump.

The first thing you would notice while walking down the streets is the garbage strewn all over...I mean there has to be a system in place right to manage the waste disposal and all...but the municipal corporation doesn't believe in having bins on the roadside...instead they like the garbage lying on the footpaths completely unattended! So, you cannot even use the footpaths and a stench comes free with it wow!! Isn't that great!! Welcome to Thane!

Yeah...i agree on that...!!Thane is no more a clean city...!!just look at the footpath near to yantra park campus...where all the waste is dumped..!!
But..its d case with all the places in Mumbai..and instead of fighting for all the wrong reasons..like the Communal riots..Lets join hands fr a good cause..to make our city clean..bcoz awareness should start and spread frm d individuals...!!!
