The Dead End: Why We Trash Our Cities & Blame Others for It

We love to complain about dirty streets, broken infrastructure, and disappearing green spaces—but who’s really responsible? Illegal dumping, plastic waste, noise pollution—are we victims of bad governance, or just experts in passing the buck?

In this hard-hitting episode of The Dead End, hosts Anuj and Dilip take on our collective "not my problem" syndrome. From pothole neglect to public property vandalism, we’ll expose why our cities are suffering—not because of a lack of resources, but because of our apathy.

Illegal Dumping (Malba): Construction debris dumped in forests, lakes, and public spaces—why do we let it happen?

️ Overuse of Plastics: Single-use plastics are banned but still everywhere. Who’s enforcing the rules?

Noise Pollution: Honking, loudspeakers, blaring music—why do we treat every road like a DJ party?

Disregard for Green Spaces: Urban expansion at the cost of nature—do we really care about sustainability?

We expect civic responsibility from the government but take none ourselves. Are we just waiting for someone else to clean up our mess? Or is it time to stop the shortcut mentality and own up to our actions?
