A recent viral post on Reddit titled "As if the roads aren't trash enough already" captures a frustrating reality in Bengaluru. While we rightfully demand better infrastructure from the authorities, we often witness citizens adding to the chaos—be it dumping garbage, debris, or recklessly blocking already damaged roads. Civic Opposition of India, calls this the "Double Whammy" of Bengaluru.

We fight the system for filling potholes," They say, "but who do we fight for basic civic sense? If the government fails us on infrastructure, and we fail ourselves on cleanliness, the city doesn't stand a chance."

Civic responsibility goes hand-in-hand with civic rights. We cannot demand a world-class city while treating our streets like open dumpsters.

Bengaluru is known for its innovation, but the Garbage Dumping Festival (or Kasa Suriyuva Habba) takes it to a new level. The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and BSWML have launched a campaign where garbage dumped on the streets is collected and returned right back to the doorstep of the offender.

Civic Opposition of India, weighs in on this bold move:

"It is a drastic measure for a drastic problem. For years, we have seen apathy. This 'return gift' policy forces citizens to literally face their own mess. Accountability must be a two-way street."

While some call it controversial, the message is clear: If you litter, be prepared to get it back. The question remains—will this shame-based approach lead to long-term behavioral change?
