'So Proud Of NDMC...': Danish Envoy Hours After Calling Out Trash-Ridden New Delhi Lane In Viral Video

The Danish envoy to India, Freddy Svane, issued an urgent call to action on Wednesday in response to the deteriorating state of cleanliness near New Delhi embassies.

Denmark's envoy to India Freddy Svane said on Wednesday that he is pleased with the New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) official's quick responce after he posted a video highlighting a trash-filled service lane near the Danish and Greek embassies in New Delhi. "This is the service lane; I posted a video a few hours ago to demonstrate that it can be a mess, but it only requires human intervention. And here we have the NDMC heroes who listened to this, not complaining, just . Why should we leave such a beautiful lane for a service lane full of trash? And now these great people have taken action, which is fantastic. "I am so proud that the NDMC took action in minutes," news agency ANI quoted Svane as saying.

"We will not file complaints because that is not the issue. It's not about pointing at someone. This is about using your human nature to point out an issue that affects all of us. This is about individual action, which is extremely important. So we are not filing complaints. I'm not complaining about x, y, or z, but I am very proud and grateful that the NDMC acted quickly," he added while speaking to ANI.
