WOW! Bangalores Vinayak Nagar Community SpotFix passes the 15-Day Test! In fact the spot has got better with each passing day. The local residents have taken it upon themselves to maintain the spot in its After condition. They have worked with the BBMP to ensure regular door-to-door collection of garbage, they have worked with their neighbours to ensure nobody violates the neighbourhood code of No Garbage on Ground (so if the garbage van does not come one day they keep their garbage at home till the next day), and they have gone and put better pots, more plants and plan to paint rangolis on their new reclaimed Community Footpath. This is the power of Community-led SpotFixing - in partnership with the authorities (BBMP). It works. Do not let the cynic in you, or any you encounter on this page, stop you from trying. This place was a CHRONIC garbage dump for years, and just because ONE person took the lead, and took the right approach and attitude (hands-on & mouth shut) it has got fixed and transformed. Kaam Chalu Mooh Bandh! Indias ugliness can get fixed - one spot at a time. It just needs YOU to take charge of that ugly spot near your home.
