What is the collective responsibility of citizens and government towards infrastructure, and why is it important?
Protecting public infrastructure is a shared responsibility of government and citizens. Littering, defacing buildings, and damaging monuments reduce ease of living. Panchayats and municipalities must improve waste management, sanitation, traffic, and water supply. Infrastructure should be safe, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable. Use of clean energy and eco-friendly materials reduces pollution. Infrastructure design should consider children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Citizens must use public facilities responsibly and report damage like potholes or broken lights to maintain quality infrastructure.
