Whenever you visit places like the market, the first thing that captures one’s attention is the cleanliness. When talking about cleanliness, I am sure Indore comes to mind. Indore is known as one of the cleanest cities in India. And the cleanliness of its vegetable market was compared to that of Mumbai’s vegetable market. Netizens blamed BMC and Mumbaikars ‘’ Chalta Hai’ attitude.

A X (formerly known as Twitter) account named @RoadsOfMumbai posted a picture comparing Indore and Mumbai vegetable markets. The pictures showed how Indore’s markets are way more organized and clean as compared to Indore’s.
Mumbaikars just see how hygienically the vegetables are managed. This is what goes on your plate.
BMC approves this.
People literally spit next to it on the roads, rats pee on it as well, maybe dogs too.
But chalta hai #SpiritOfMumbai

With the picture, the account spoke about how Indore markets are hygienically managed, unlike Mumbai. It also mentioned that BMC approves of this. People spit, rats and dogs pee, etc. were mentioned.
The picture from Indore showed how the vegetables were neatly placed and arranged in the market. There were dustbins around marked with ‘wet waste’ labels for people to throw rotten vegetables in them. While the Mumbai market had all the produce all over the road, making it completely unhygienic.

One user mentioned that the population of Indore is very low as compared to Mumbai. To this, @RoadsOfMumbai posted a picture of Tokyo’s market, which also has a huge population but still looks clean.
Some people are used to “Chalta hai attitude”. But just wonder what a clean, green, better roads , better footpath, only Authorised hawkers in your neighborhood.Better trains and public transport will feel like and make an impact to you and you family.

Another user spoke about how Mumbaikars are ok with all of it and blamed their ‘Chalta hai attitude’. Another spoke about how nothing and no one is ever in sync with others in Mumbai, as it is the responsibility of the BMC, society, and vendors together.
@mybmc and @NMMConline have a look and give a thought.
