He also interacted with the locals there and visited a shop and had a cup of tea.He said, “There is so much garbage nobody is cleaning it. I wonder why the government doesn’t do anything about it.”He further added, “When you take a look at the other side of the railway station, you can see that Mumbai’s housing crisis only gets worse the slum hoses gets only taller and taller and smaller and smaller.” Further showing the Mithi Nadi in Bandra he said, “If you take a look at the river here, surprisingly it is absolutely filled with garbage and you can barely see any water. It smells terrible. I wonder if they ever clean it.”Further, he asked if the government cleans the area to a few children while interacting and they replied that no one cleans the garbage.

(The government here is not responsible.)”In the video, after taking a tour of the whole place, he is heard saying, “Would you believe this place is real? If you would have not seen anything likethis from your own eyes. I would’t I have not seen anything like this with my own eyes.
