📍Brahmaputra River, Dibrugarh, Assam Pouring milk into the Brahmaputra as part of religious rituals is a matter of faith, but throwing the empty milk packets into the river afterwards is absolutely ridiculous. Respect your beliefs, but respect nature too. Keep the Brahmaputra clean! 🙏🌊 PS - I don't see any dustbins placed on riverfront stretch. @dibrugarhpolice @mygovassam @CMOfficeAssam @assampolice

Reddy also pointed out that there were no dustbins near the river where people could dispose of their garbage.
"PS - I don't see any dustbins placed on riverfront stretch."
Some people pointed out that pouring milk in the river is not good for the marine life living in it.
@navin_ankampali Milk is not good for marine life. We Indians are idiots.

@navin_ankampali Milk itself was condemnable because it's harmful for aquatic life but the way he casually threw that box in the River needs to be executed by Law.

Meanwhile, some people pointed out that throwing the empty milk packets into the river was even worse than pouring milk into it.
@navin_ankampali But why did he drop the packet in the river instead of a Dustbin
