Imphal, November 05 2011:
With a vision to do away with the abominable habit and practice of spitting pan juices and throwing cigarette buds in public places and offices, the Treasury office located at Lamphelpat has taken up certain novel measures.
As of now, pan stained walls and floors strewn with cigarette buds remain a common sight in public offices and hospitals including new buildings.
But in the office building of the Directorate of Treasury and Accounts office, one would see in every corner of the building signboards painted with the figure of a lady with folded hands and embossed with the words, "Please, keep the walls neat and tidy" .
There were neither dust-bins nor any garbage within the building.
The simple strategy of putting signboards has been taken up by the Treasury office on experimental basis to do away with the abominable habit of spitting pan juices and throwing cigarette buds at every corner of office buildings, which is common to many people, irrespective of one is literate or illiterate.

Talking to The Sangai Express, Treasury and Accounts Director Th Kirankumar said that the new strategy of putting signboards was launched about a month back.
Together with removal of dustbins, the walls of the building were also white-washed.
Since then, the degree of dirtying office rooms has declined considerably, Kirankumar said.
Talking about the strategy of putting up signboards embossed with the simple words "Please, keep the surrounding neat and clean", Kirankumar confided that this is a model picked up from Thailand when he and some other officers were sent there by the State Government for a training programme.
He further informed that the Treasury office has stopped the practice of putting up notices in haphazard manner.
Notably, it was at Director Kirankumar's initiative that most Treasury offices adopted a new record management system in place of the earlier practice of keeping piles of files on their tables and cupboards.
