It’s really disgusting of us, all people that we are not able to handle this problem on our own and that is why there are some people like ragpickers and all such fellow beings who dive into these manholes for the garbage which we had thrown?
They do this work because they are bound to do it! They are illiterate, they have no other source of income.
But have anyone of us realised this that we say ourself as responsible citizen! But we are not able to manage our waste even.
Isn’t it ironical.
