"This is not just litter, it's a reflection of corporate negligence." A concerned citizen from Dehradun has sparked outrage online after sharing a video showing piles of waste dumped outside a Blinkit store.
The viral clip, captured near a children’s park, has raised alarms about potential health hazards and unsanitary conditions in the area. Locals are now calling for immediate action from both the company and municipal authorities, demanding responsibility and cleanup.
Anoop Nautiyal took to X to raise concerns about a growing sanitation issue in Dehradun. “Hello @letsblinkit, my name is Anoop and I live in #Dehradun,” he wrote, sharing a complaint sent by a senior citizen from Sahastradhara Road. The accompanying videos show plastic bags, food wrappers, and other trash scattered outside the entrance of a Blinkit store, drawing attention to the store's alleged role in the growing litter problem.
Hello @letsblinkit, my name is Anoop and I live in #Dehradun. A very concerned senior citizen who lives in the Sahastradhara Road area in the city sent two videos to me this morning.

Consequently, nearby residents have begun protesting daily, and children cannot play safely in the local park. Moreover, foul smells rise from decomposing waste and attract insects. The senior citizen and her friends feel disappointed by this neglect. Therefore, he asks, as a responsible corporate, can you ensure that this litter and waste will be picked up promptly?
Also, can you clean the area thoroughly and guarantee that all your stores handle, dispose of, and recycle plastic and other waste with complete caution? He also mentions that if you need any support in this environment-friendly and citizen-centric initiative, feel free to write to me at anoop.nautiyal@gmail.com.
Stagnant waste invites harmful bacteria and mosquitoes to multiply on the ground near park benches and children’s play areas. Such conditions increase the risk of skin infections, dengue fever and other serious illnesses for residents. Moreover, the Dehradun news viral video shows pets and street animals rummaging through the scattered trash.
Residents report that foul odour fills the air and makes it hard to breathe freely near their homes. They demand swift removal to protect public health and restore safe recreational spaces.
The Dehradun news viral video prompts local activists to demand that municipal workers clear the litter immediately. They ask the civic body to deploy cleaning crews round the clock in affected areas. Further, they propose installing waste bins and regular patrols to prevent future dumping events.
Moreover, local activists call for a strict audit of all Blinkit store waste practices across the city. They warn that failure to respond could erode public trust in both the company and civic authorities. Residents also plan a peaceful march next week to highlight the ongoing waste crisis.
The viral video of Dehradun news has sparked much debate over urban cleanliness and corporate responsibility in Dehradun. Now, everyone watches how quickly the city and Blinkit act to restore safe public spaces.
