• Separatism, vandalism, intolerance, racism, road rage etc. are all examples of lack of civic sense (E.gs. Torching of trains, vandalizing public places etc.)

• People are becoming less and less tolerant of each other, of other's cultures, backgrounds etc.

• India has really diverse people and the need of the hour is general civic sense.

What is our civic sense quotient?

A burning issue: Three trains came under attack on the outskirts of Patna on 1 June, 2009 over the Railways’ decision to withdraw halts for various trains at Bihar’s Khusrupur station. The mob torched coaches, ransacked a station and uprooted railway lines falling under the Danapur division. Here, bogies of the Rajgir-Danapur passenger train are ablaze.
