A confrontation caught on camera in Meghalaya has ignited a heated online conversation about littering, accountability, and respect for nature. The now-viral Instagram video shows a foreign resident calling
out an Indian man for throwing plastic bottles along the roadside in the scenic hill state, an area celebrated for its untouched beauty and environmentally sensitive landscape.The footage captures the man carelessly discarding waste while bystanders look on without reacting. Disturbed by the sight, the foreigner intervenes, explaining how plastic pollution poses a serious threat to Meghalaya’s delicate ecosystem. He also mentions that he lives in the state and urges the tourist to collect the bottles he had tossed aside, firmly calling the act irresponsible.During the exchange, the foreigner underlines how such behaviour directly undermines a region where tourism and livelihoods depend heavily on preserving natural beauty.
