This week we had over 100 NRIs enjoyed the greens of Chandigarh Golf Club and the salubrious environs of the city.
At the dinner hosted by the Tourism Promotion Society of Chandigarh (TPSC) headed by Mr Man Mohan Singh Kohli of Hotel Aroma, gave us the opportunity to look at the city from the eyes of the visitors. Mr Man Mohan Singh had always been a strong votary of developing the city into a model tourist destination, but this requires concerted efforts of everyone.
And truly so the comments of some of these NRIs, especially the regular ones, were not very satisfying who rued the decline in upkeep of the city. The growing number of garbage dumps, littering, debries, beggars, and unruly traffic are killing the 'beauty' of the city.
It is time the residents take upon themselves to own up their city and not spoil its beauty by keeping it free of litter. The first step starts from our homes. Let's do it.
