Nazrana Times Desk: A video reportedly filmed in New York following Diwali festivities has drawn criticism online for showing rubbish, discarded packaging and other debris scattered across a street. The footage’s exact location and timing have not been independently verified.

The clip shows litter across a wet road, with parked cars lining the street and pedestrians walking through the area.

Online discussion has raised questions about public cleanliness and the responsibility of organisers and attendees to ensure shared spaces are cleaned after major celebrations.

Although the circumstances surrounding the footage remain unverified, it has renewed discussion about waste management during public festivities and the responsibility to leave public spaces clean while celebrating traditions.
