Danish Ambassador to India Freddy Svane took to social media to highlight a trash-ridden service lane near the Embassy of Denmark in New Delhi and appealed to authorities to take necessary action.
The envoy posted a video on X in the afternoon with the caption: "Lovely and green New Delhi. Many words but no action. Saddened by this @DenmarkinIndia @CMODelhi @LtGovDelhi".
In the video, Svane points to trash and construction debris on both sides of the lane while standing in the middle.
"Welcome to great, green and trashy New Delhi," he said in the video.
The envoy pointed towards the Danish and Greek embassies.
"Here we have the Danish embassy and we have the Greek embassy over there. This should be a service lane, but you see it's full of trash, and people are just dumping whatever they like... So, I hope somebody will listen to this and take action. No more nice words, just action, my friends," he added.
A senior official of the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) when asked about the video, said, "It (service lane) was cleaned after the matter came to light. We will also ensure that such a civic situation does not arise again." Danish Embassy is located in Chanakyapuri, home to the country's main diplomatic enclave in the national capital.
The civic area in the enclave falls under the NDMC.
