A moment captured on camera in Nepal has ignited conversations around civic sense and public conduct, after an interaction between a local resident and two visitors quickly turned into a viral talking point online. The clip, now widely circulating on social media, highlights how everyday actions in public spaces can draw sharp reactions and spark broader debates.The video shows Raju Lamichhane confronting two Indian visitors after noticing them spitting on the road. He approaches them directly, calling out the act and urging them to maintain cleanliness in public areas.He confronts the tourists and asks them to clean the spot they spat on by pouring water on it, “Ye India nahi hai bhai, Nepal hai aur ganda mat karna, pani dalo udhar.'' While
one of the men responds with a quiet “sorry,” Lamichhane continues to press the point, stressing that simply apologising is not enough if the behaviour is not corrected.“Aap log itne bade desh se aate ho, phir aise ganda karte ho. Sorry bolne se pehle sochna chahiye na,” he says in the video.He further insists that they take responsibility for their actions and clean up the area properly, reiterating his request: “Ek bottle paani dalo udhar.”Since being shared online, the video has drawn widespread attention, bringing focus to issues of hygiene, accountability, and respect in shared public spaces.Reactions on Instagram have been divided. While many users praised Lamichhane for speaking up about cleanliness, others felt the situation could have been handled differently.One user wrote, "This is love to the nation, so take it positively."Another commented, “When Nepalese come to our country, work here ,stay here , we don't disrespect you or your country, yes they are wrong, but they are apologising, still it seems very intentional how you are blaming the entire country.”One more wrote, “He is my friend, and he was already apologizing. Turning on the camera and recording him like this was wrong.”“He did it because he knows that it is his home,” another equipped. The video, shared on April 7, 2026, has since garnered over 3.6 million views and more than 1.7 lakh likes, continuing to fuel discussions around public behaviour and mutual respect across borders.
