The caption of the video reads, "Shameful a foreign tourist is more concerned about nature’s beauty while local tourists keep shamelessly littering such stunning places. No govt or administration is to be blamed — it’s the people who need to change if we ever want a clean country. Video from Kangra, Himachal."
Netizen Reactions:
One user wrote, "Hv said it many times. Need a generational shift in the mindset. Teach your children that it is bad. I hv seen people telling their kids to throw trash out of the car. Civic sense is zero amongst us."
Another user wrote, "I hope that mindset gets transferred to those who litter at such beautiful public places , Need a joint effort from everyone to make such sites cleaner and safer for travel and leisure."
One user commented, "How embarrassing! People should pick up after themselves. Can’t believe others have to remind them to even follow a basic rule of cleanliness."
New Gen. can make it happen. Hope Indians can learn from him a lot. A-lot LOTTTT
