What goes in must come out. How true this is in the case of garbage and the Arabian Sea. We throw in garbage into the sea and it sorts it and throws the plastic back at us.

Below is a picture of Versova Beach as seen in today’s DNA.

The amount of garbage gathering on the shore is by no means small. Faulting the BMC alone for this might be unfair. In fact, garbage receptacles are installed on the beach and before the last new moon day, the beach was rea sonably clean. The onus rests on the city for poor garbage disposal systems and the citizens for dispos ing garbage irresponsibly.

However, the filth didn’t de ter visitors. Couples may have had to scout out a new location, but soccer enthusiasts were back, practising their kicks and head butts amidst the pile of trash.

Even Nature is reacting angrily to us crazy humans. When will we learn ?
