Gurugram Cleaner Urges Influencers to Back Instagram ‘Ek Din, Ek Gully’ Cleanup

He has harnessed Instagram traction to recruit volunteers and highlight Gurugram’s persistent waste management challenges ahead of Independence Day.

Overview

  • The foreign national cleaning Gurugram streets under the ‘Ek Din, Ek Gully’ series has posted four before-and-after videos that have attracted over 3,000 views on Instagram.
  • He has pledged to sustain the daily street cleanup campaign until at least August 15, inviting local residents to join his effort.
  • In a recent appeal, he asked Indian social media influencers to produce content and mobilize followers to participate in the Independence Day cleanup drive.
  • While the initiative has drawn praise and volunteer support in Gurugram’s Sector 55 and other neighborhoods, outlets have been unable to confirm whether he is Serbian or Swedish.
  • Civic experts say the grassroots campaign underscores ongoing gaps in source segregation and waste management despite Gurugram’s rise in recent Swachh Survekshan rankings.
