A video showing a man confronting tourists for allegedly throwing plastic waste on the road to Mussoorie has gone viral on social media, drawing widespread praise online. The clip captured a calm but firm exchange in which the man returned the discarded plastic items to the tourists and urged them to avoid littering in the hill region.

The video was shared on Instagram by Anoop Nautiyal, founder of an environmental action and advocacy group. According to Nautiyal, he noticed passengers traveling in a taxi ahead of him throwing a plastic cup and spoon out of the vehicle window while heading towards Mussoorie in Uttarakhand.

Instead of ignoring the incident, Nautiyal stopped near the taxi and politely confronted the passengers. In the viral video, he can be seen pointing out the discarded waste and returning the plastic items to the tourists, asking them to dispose of the garbage responsibly. The interaction remained calm throughout, with Nautiyal choosing a respectful approach while raising awareness about environmental responsibility.
