A video shot at Kerala’s Kannur railway station has struck a chord online after an Assam based man highlighted the station’s remarkably clean surroundings. The clip, shared on Instagram by a user with the handle @Rezaulll_13, shows the man walking across the station platforms and along the railway tracks, repeatedly pointing out the absence of litter.
What sets the video apart is its simplicity. There is no heavy narration or dramatic presentation. Instead, the man allows the visuals to speak for themselves.
‘Ek bhi kachra nahi milega’
In the video, the man can be heard speaking in Hindi, saying, “Ek bhi kachra nahi milega,” which translates to, “You will not find even a single piece of garbage.”
The footage also briefly focuses on the railway tracks, an area often associated with waste in many parts of the country. Here too, the tracks appear clean, reinforcing his point about the station’s overall upkeep.
