00:00How I've witnessed an EV charging station
00:02go from this, to this, and now this.
00:07Somewhere in South Delhi, an EV charging station seems to have an identity crisis.
00:16Some use it to charge electric vehicles.
00:18Others seem to think, what a great spot, an open space for garbage parking.
00:31We have to clean it up here. Four days before we clean it.
00:35What do we do here?
00:36Some people live here.
00:38Some people live here.
00:40They are all doing this.
00:42We have to keep going on the bike.
00:48We have to keep going on the bike.
00:49We have to keep going on the bike.
00:54We have told someone to keep going on the bike.
00:56Where are you?
00:57Where are you?
00:58Where will you be here?
00:59We will drop it or let go.
01:01If the situation go back, we can get to go on the bike.
01:07We will get to go wherever our body is.
01:09I will try to keep reducing the city's.
01:14Plastic bags, wrappers, food waste lined up just as confidently as vehicles here.
01:19And worse, sanitation workers are left to deal with the consequences.
01:22One was even injured in front of me while cleaning this area.
01:25Authorities say they clean it everyday.
01:38Locals say the garbage has a faster come back than the cleaning.
01:47Which makes you wonder, is the problem really the system or the habit?
01:58Authorities may clean, install and maintain.
02:01But if the citizens themselves turn these public spaces into garbage spots, no system can keep up.
02:07Well, cities don't get dirty overnight.
02:10They are made dirty piece by piece by the people who live in them.
02:13Civic sense isn't imposed, it is practiced.
02:16Until that changes, no amount of cleaning drives will be enough.
02:20What are your thoughts?
