After the video gained significant traction on social media and many said that the video seems to be from Faridabad, the woman clarified that she captured the video on her smartphone West Delhi.

Check out how X users reacted to this video:

“This is awful. I think plastics also contribute to this problem as they don’t decompose. We have just too many people in Delhi. Still this is unacceptable,” wrote an individual, adding if anyone can help fix the road condition in Delhi.

Another added, “Agree with Pankhuri ! This is the road opposite Mata Chanan Devi Hospital going towards Uttam Nagar, mostly always overflowing with garbage. This is pathetic and poses a major health hazard!”

“This is near Uttam Nagar. The whole year there is the same situation, uncovered drains and they smell like anything,” expressed a third.

A fourth commented, “Ask Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). It comes under its jurisdiction.”
