Ban RED

We need a strong and concentrated campaign to curb Paan spitting.Banners must be up, with graphics reminding people of the anti-social nature of Paan spitting, as well as the introduction of Rs 500/- on-the-spot fines for those caught doing it. Paan chewing maybe a tradition which we will not stop. We frame a law to ban spitting anywhere in public. When it is spat out, it leaves red marks on pavements that are difficult to clear. The punishment is to have the spitter clean the spot and pay the fine. "It's not only costing a lot of money to clean it all up, but is very anti-social. People need to know that it isn't ok anymore.  We need our municipal staff to get involved patrolling the area with the local police to resolve this issue. Concerned about the way in which the spit from Paan is all over the pavements and the streets. I think some people who spit Paan do not realize they are being anti-social, while some think it's fashionable and acceptable to spit in the street.
