Even though stated objectives as the achievement of Open Defecation Free (ODF) status in all the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in India, by October 2019 and Mangalore having declared as having achieved the ODF ( Open Defecation Free) , when one thinks of dreaming of taking morning walks on our beaches to inhale fresh air , one may be in for surprise ,and would be rudely awakened to reality - to see people lining up for open defecation . As they say old habits die hard ! High time concerned authorities in our Mangaluru Smart City - Watchdog Mangaluru Smart City Corporation conducted some surprise checks and fine these people who shatter our dream. ( these are some local residents in the vicinity who think it is their right . I have been pleading with them here in Chithrapura Beach Kulai and as one living here it is a bit sensitive having to have any confrontation). Law must take its course , to deal with this.

India is among one of the first few countries to develop an exclusive rating system for Green Cities. CII - Indian Green Building Council - IGBC Green Cities Rating has been launched for greening of large developments, based on sound environmental principles. Cities can be ‘smart’ only if the city is ‘Green’ and 'Resilient'.
The ‘Green Cities’ concept seeks at promoting an eco-friendly city that balances social, economic, and environmental dimensions, as well as good urban governance as its foundation. Also, one of the main concerns which needs to be stressed upon is optimal and efficient use of natural resources like water, energy and land.
