🧠 Problem Title: Road Hazards Caused by Tender Coconut Shells
📝 Problem Description

Tender coconut shell residue left on or near roads can create serious safety hazards for both drivers and pedestrians. After coconut water is used, the shells are often thrown aside or rolled near the road. These hard pieces create obstacles, especially for two-wheeler riders, cyclists etc. Drivers may suddenly try to avoid the shells, increasing the chances of collisions or loss of control. When a car tyre comes into contact with a coconut shell, it can get forcefully propelled forward like a projectile and hit someone nearby, posing a serious risk to life. Pedestrians can also trip over the scattered pieces, leading to injuries. This problem is more common near busy streets, markets.
