Art of dumping: Garbage mess at INDIAN GURU SRI SRI'S World Culture Festival

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Garbage piles up at the site of the Art of Living's World Culture Festival on the Yamuna riverbed in Delhi. The controversial three-day festival ended on Monday. Green groups accused the festival’s organisers of ripping up vegetation and ruining the river’s fragile ecosystem by damaging its bed and disrupting water flows. (Sushil Kumar/ HT Photo)

Looks like the mess is being cleaned up.

So what exactly is the problem ?

The problem is that it was a HINDU cultural event

If it was a Zakir Naik show ; then Congressis and the Commies would be sitting in the first row

Why would they litter like that in the first place ? Shouldn't the organizers have provided some kind of bins or something.. I mean there is organic waste like food all over the place.. Cleaning up after shouldn't be the issue but people littering like that is, Especially at a event quite ironically named " Art of Living "

We south Asians are perhaps some of the dirtiest and disorganized people on this earth.

That is Kinda True. A colleague from Maldives visited India - Travelled to Mumbai, Delhi etc & shares exact similar views. Further, she bashes India on this on FB posts & never wish to visit again. All thanks to Littering, Spitting etc. habits.

These are the same habits which gave rise to untouchability in India.

What do you mean?

Nonsense. This would be the scene in any event that has hosted a couple of lakh people. These photos were taken barely a few hours after the program had finished and even the temporary infrastructure was being dismantled. People are talking here as if they themselves live in an immaculate sterile environment and their shit smells of roses. The organization said they would return back the premise better than when they had taken it. They have cleaned up the venue.

People jumping in and taking everything the media puts out even after knowing the media was opposed to the event are born imbeciles.

Well since you know more on the subject than I do, why don't you do so and tag me.

Thanks!

Does any one have any photo of the place before the event.....I mean days before the event even was conceived?

 

[ranjeet]

Considering how media was looking for some dirt on this event with bated breath I wouldn't be surprised these were taken before the clean up. And now once they clean it up media will claim "media impact"

 

[unbiasedopinion]

As usual, bunch of negative media with negative mindset who cannot see anything positive in any event or anything.

BTW< its been a while I have seen a debate or news story on something positive, which makes me switch on the TV with enthu.
