In another post on X, Verma said, "Who needs clean streets and proper waste management when we can have a picturesque patchwork of discarded napkins, food scraps, and plastic utensils? It adds a rustic charm, wouldn’t you agree? Plus, the aroma of rotting food really gives the city that authentic, lived-in feel."

In a sarcastic take on the situation, Verma also thanked the street vendors who, "ensure that their daily walks are never dull, always full of unexpected visual and olfactory experiences."

"Your commitment to this laissez-faire policy is truly an inspiration to governments everywhere. Am a citizen who has embraced the utter chaos," she added.
