A street-side exchange in Nepal has caught attention online after a local man was seen confronting two Indian visitors for spitting on the road.
In the video, the man, Raju Lamichhane, approaches the two individuals and points out the act, urging them not to dirty public spaces.
“Ye India nahi hai bhai, Nepal hai aur ganda mat karna, pani dalo udhar,” he is heard saying, asking them to pour water on the spot they had spat on.
Spitting on the road draws criticism:
One of the two men responds with a quiet “sorry”, but Lamichhane continues, making it clear that an apology alone is not enough. He reminds them to be mindful of their actions before making a mistake.
“Aap log itne bade desh se aate ho, phir aise ganda karte ho. Sorry bolne se pehle sochna chahiye na,” he says in the video.
He further insists that they should clean up the area properly, asking them again to pour water on the spot. “Ek bottle paani dalo udhar,” he says.
The video has since circulated widely, drawing attention to issues of public hygiene and behaviour in shared spaces.
