Numbers of sanitation personnel should be increased, in case they are skeletal and that is the reason for poor hygiene. Here, these are not frills but necessities. Escalators and lighting translates into safety and mobility. Cleanliness has a direct impact on health. These are not trivialities, but aspects that can have major impact on lives and they must be tackled on an urgent basis.

The authorities need to ensure that drains do not get choked and there is quick action with regard to this, which should not be a one-time initiative. If there is a root cause for the problem, locate that and tackle firmly, so   that this is not a recurring malaise.

Let the exercise start off with ground visits and a meeting with some resident representatives. If merit is found in the complaints, then, act upon this. Everybody has a right to live with dignity and 
in safety.
