WHY FOOTPATHS IN INDIA ARE BECOMING EXTINCT

By
Footpaths are supposed to be a safe place for all the pedestrians to walk on. It is called a Foot-path because it is meant only for using your foot as a means of transport. In the beginning when the footpaths started (whenever that is) they were big and safe. Which is clearly not the case now.



Why footpaths are not being used as much anymore ?

  • The footpaths are conquered by vehicles (most common)

  • They are lumped with stones, which is to be used in a construction site


  • they are occupied by construction worker's houses

  • They are blocked by health hazarding obstacles (sharp long metal beams and stuff) 
                                  
                                      



So these are the kind of things that keep humans away from the footpaths. We would rather find it easy to walk on the side of the roads than footpaths.



What would an ideal footpath be?


People should really stop considering footpaths as a parking lots. Because footpaths are for people not vehicles. Stones can be dumped elsewhere. The construction workers can perhaps settle down somewhere else. Extending the size of the footpaths would really help. 
An ideal footpath would be something like this :



Now that the "swach india" movement has started, we might actually see some good footpaths here and there. Hoping to see a cleaner india.
