NDMC acted quickly and sent its officials to address the issue.
ANI also shared a video of Danish Ambassador Svan Fried expressing pride in the NDMC's swift action and saying, “I am so proud that the NDMC took action within minutes…I am here to help.'' We have lived here for 11 years. We love India…” ”
But as one commenter pointed out, “Why not just clean up the whole city?”
