A video of a man politely requesting his fellow train passengers to avoid littering has gone viral on social media, with netizens applauding his efforts.In the video, the person could be heard saying: “One minute, everyone here, if you are using your phone, please switch it off for two minutes and pay attention. See, the government has given us this train. This is our home. If we are carrying such a big bag with us, we should also carry a small plastic bag.”“All the people coming here to sell goods, we buy them, but then we throw things down. Is this the right thing to do? Say something, yes or no? Instead, people often say, ‘India is dirty, Bihar is dirty.’ But it’s because of our habits,” he said.

The video drew positive comments with one social media user calling it “truly inspiring”.“Truly inspiring! This young man from Bihar shows that real change doesn’t need noise, just awareness and action. His simple gesture of asking passengers not to litter reflects true civic sense. If more youth follow this path, Bihar can lead a cleaner, more responsible future,” said Koppula Mahender in a post on X.However, another user said that it was the government’s responsibility. “Should come from the authorities. Otherwise people will take is personal,” they said.One user also appreciated is approach saying: “Yes, they may get triggered emotionally if approached individually but if we create a social appeal that creates a social pressure different from the pressure of being put on the spot in the crowd.”
