Being a World Heritage site in the city isn’t all that cool. Moreoften than not, it means the site is completely neglected. Unfortunately, the most visible icon of the city, the Gateway of India, is getting the same treatment from its own citizens.

If you’re a regular visitor to the Gateway, you will know that people love to get their photographs clicked in front of the monument. The next thing on their to-do list is to sit on the seaside benches, sip some tea, have an ice cream, and throw all the plastic wrappers right on the footpath.
