Is there a right to generate waste in our cities?

One of the reasons why garbage disposal remains chaotic, inefficient and unscuccessful in India is the fact that the people think they have a right to generate waste.

Once we create waste, we then decide to dump it on public spaces and wait for the municipal authorities to dispose it.

The following waste appeared one fine day right opposite to my house. Why did someone dump it here?

It took three weeks, multiple calls to BBMP, and then political help to remove the waste, as the corrupt garbage collector refused to remove it. If the responsible citizen had done some due diligence, should this tree waste could have been avoided?

Citizens get the garbage disposal they deserve. They should understand that they have absolutely no right to create waste, dump that waste onto the roads, and lament that the municipal authorities did not remove it.
