A "Return Gift" for Litterbugs: Is the GBA's New Approach Effective?
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:Â
"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?
