Mumbai: A video purportedly showing the waste disposal system inside Mumbai Metro Line 3 stations has gone viral on social media, triggering discussions over the implementation of waste segregation measures at the city's newest underground metro corridor.
The video, shared by MumbaiCulture.in, highlights a set of dustbins that appear to be designed for segregated waste disposal. At first glance, the bins seem to provide separate openings for different categories of waste.
However, upon closer inspection, the individual filming the video claims that all three disposal openings ultimately lead to a single common compartment inside the bin.
The footage has sparked debate among social media users, with several questioning whether the waste segregation mechanism is functional or merely cosmetic. Furthermore, the point that they did not expect this from a Rs. 37,000 crore metro system.
According to the caption accompanying the viral post read, “Didn't expect this from a ₹37,000 crore metro system,’ sparking widespread online debate and raising serious questions about the transit system's actual commitment to waste segregation practices.
The Free Press Journal attempted to contact a representative of Mumbai Metro Line 3 to seek clarification regarding the waste disposal arrangement shown in the video. However, the contact number available was found to be out of network coverage, and no official response could be obtained at the time of publishing.
An official statement from Mumbai Metro Line 3 is awaited.
