Diwali festivities may have concluded, but one Indian man residing in Dubai has now gone viral for highlighting the remarkable speed and efficiency with which the city’s cleaning staff restored order after the celebrations. Taking to Instagram, a user identified as Kabir shared a video that captured both the joy of the festival and the impressive cleanliness that followed.
In the clip, Kabir points to a familiar sports ground near a towering building. He says, “You can see that robot structure on the building over there, and right next to it is a small ground where people are playing cricket right now. On that same ground last night, all of us Indians came together for Diwali and burst so many firecrackers that the poor cleaning staff had to start cleaning even while we were still celebrating. And by the time night ended, they had cleaned every bit of it. You will not see any garbage there now.”
