Srinagar, Feb. 27 -- Exploring how erasing a modest message for tourists leaves an unspoken commentary on our public values.What's Wrong with Saying 'Don't Litter,' 'Don't Urinate,' or 'Don't Drink' in Public Places? Is it really too much to ask that we respect the sanctity of public spaces? Why does a simple plea to not pollute, not defile, and not indulge in excess become such a bone of contention? Every locality across the globe has these basic rules-preserving cleanliness, ensuring respect & fostering communal living.
