Aniruddha Jatkar felicitates BBMP marshals and pourakarmikas

A few days after actor Aniruddha Jatkar shared pictures of mounds of garbage on the roads in Kumaraswamy Layout that had become nuisance for motorists and residents on social media, BBMP authorities swung into action to clear it.
Aniruddha says, “I didn’t post those images thinking it would get a prompt resolution. Our duty as citizens doesn’t end after we cast our votes.Apart from complaining to authorities whenever we see such black spots, we need to stop throwing litter in public places to keep our surroundings clean. People need to stop thinking that it is the duty pourakarmikas to keep our surroundings clean. ”
To honour the efforts of pourakarmikas, the actor and his wife Keerthi recently felicitated some of them. “We forget the efforts of pourakarmikas who work round-the-clock to keep the city clean, even during the times of Covid-19, and their work needs to be appreciated. We did our bit by felicitating 40 pourakarmikas and giving them Deepavali gifts,” he adds.
