• Don’t throw the trash anywhere on the roads or other public places

• Avoid spitting & passing urine at public places or roadside

• Don't allow water to stagnate as it will provide a breeding place for mosquitoes

• Carry a small bag with you to take care of your litter – you can then empty the bag at home OR a designated garbage can

• Take an initiative to keep your surroundings clean

• Support the authorities in their cleanliness drive – help them in keeping stray animals in check

No spitting & passing urine on road
