Question

What would you do? The Municipal Council's programme to clean the slum areas has been published in the newspaper, but you think that one of the planned actions is improper.

Answer 1

• I would first read the programme carefully and identify why the planned action seems improper. I would discuss the matter with my parents, teachers or other responsible citizens and collect the correct information.
• Then I would politely bring my objection to the notice of the Municipal Council, either through a written complaint, suggestion, public meeting or appropriate grievance channel. I would also suggest a better and more practical alternative. If the action could harm people or the environment, I would request the authorities to review it before implementation.
