Aamir Khan & Crew of His Upcoming Release 'Laal Singh Chadha' Accused of Littering Ladakh (Video)

The team of Aamir Khan starrer 'Laal Singh Chadha' has landed into trouble after a social media user accused the cast and crew of littering and polluting the pristine Ladakh. Recently, a video went viral about Aamir Khan and the crew leaving the shoot location in Ladakh polluted and dirty.

The short clip shows waste scattered all around the shoot location. The video is posted by a netizen called Jigmat Ladakhi on Twitter and the caption says: 

“This is the gift Bollywood star Amir Khan's upcoming movie Lal Singh Chaddha has left for the villagers of Wakha in Ladakh. Amir Khan himself talks big about environmental cleanliness at Satyamev Jayate but this is what happens when it comes to himself.” 

What do the people have to say about the video?

The video has received a strong reaction from the netizens who have further criticised Aamir and his upcoming film's team.

Some of them wrote that they want the film to be a blockbuster, but not at the cost of polluting Ladakh.

The Tweet replies mention, "In Ladakh, the air density is really high that it takes these garbages everywhere and we can't stop it. And Ladakh being a sensitive area I m requesting everywhere the team to take these steps now not at the end before it gets scattered everywhere".

As per the tweets, the netizens demanded strict action against the actor and the team.

The crew's response to the allegation

In a statement released on Aamir Khan Productions` (AKP) official Instagram handle, the makers of the film stated that none of the accusations against the actor and his crew are true and that they are taking utmost care about keeping the environment clean.

Well, we can't say who is speaking the truth. But it's high time these issues are brought up, and responsible tourism prevails.

All of us, specially those who have the power to influence need to practice eco-tourism, and understand that nature is a gift to mankind that we need to preserve at any costs.

So, the next time you or someone around you stereotypes foreign locations to be clean and pristine, and Indian ones to be dirty, know who's to blame. The onus is on us, the travellers to explore responsibly, and keep our surroundings clean. And anyone who doesn't should be called out.
