“Welcome to great, green, and trashy New Delhi,” Freddy Svane said as he showed the road full of garbage.
“Here we have the Danish embassy and we have the Greek embassy over there. This should be a service lane but it is full of trash and people and people come here to do whatever they like to do here," he said.
Svane said he hoped somebody would take action on this.
“No more nice words just action. My friends, dhanyawaad,” the Denmark's diplomat to India said.
The video ended with a 360-degree shot of garbage dumped near the embassy building.
He shared the video with the caption: “Lovely and green New Delhi. Many words but no action. Saddened by this”
