A viral photo showing pan or gutkha stains on the side railing of the newly inaugurated Mumbai Metro Line 3, or Aqua Line, has outraged netizens. The photo, posted by journalist Richa Pinto, has sparked a renewed discussion about civic duties. "Civic sense: 0/10 We build world-class metros, then treat them like street corners. C’mon you can do better Mumbai," Pinto wrote while sharing the photo. "Really sad part , mam … we lack civic sense," one user said. Another said, "Than we compare them with foreign countries .. it’s us who need to get the things right first, learn how to take care of public properties." The Aqua Line, built for INR 37,270 crore, became operational on Thursday, October 9, after inauguration on October 8.
