cameras to catch garbage throwers

A gram panchayat in Kerala is planning to install night-vision cameras to tackle garbage menace. - - - Edathua, a panchayat mostly of farmers, generates only three tonnes of waste a day.

Another example worth following for Namma Bengaluru. It is interesting that gram panchayats are now beginning to provide the lead in using technology to solve everyday problems.
