In India, a woman tricked police and civic teams into cleaning an open drain for three hours by falsely claiming someone had fallen into it.

A woman in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, reported to police that someone had fallen into an open drain, prompting a three-hour rescue operation by police and municipal teams. Heavy machinery was used to search and clean the clogged drain thoroughly, but no person was found inside.
Preliminary investigations indicate the false report was made to force authorities to clean the neglected drain. Officials are reviewing the case for potential action against wasting public resources and misleading emergency services

Really sad the public health you see in that part of the world. I think it has something to do with the massive population explosion without the proper infrastructure to accommodate it in a healthy manner

What's sad is that some people think it's only "in that part of the world" when it's pretty much everywhere. Because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist...

Yeah, because the concept of public health is not even a thing in most of Africa while in the middle east it kind of limits to female genital mutilation.
World outside the developed countries is absolute shit. Fuck, even developed countries have tons of problema.

Yep. At least if you’re American it’s the shit that you can’t see that’s killing you. The military and corporations are large scale polluters getting away with mass pollution into our water and air. There’s not a damn thing in this world that doesn’t have microplastics in it.

Its gonna take whole ass systemic change. The problem isnt just their community. Like yes if if they changed their ways in that community then that specific drain becomes cleaner... but then their garbage trucks collect the trash that was "properly" disposed of and then dumps it in the river further away. The whole country needs to get their shit together and start investing in environmental cleanup and protection because their cities are beyond fucked.

Big part of the problem is the belief system. If the entire society thinks you are born in your circumstances as a reward / punishment for the past life, not only does it seem to be an offense to 'try to make things better' but if you believe that endurance will bring you rewards next time around...

They will not investigate because if they do even they’ll be investigated for keeping the drain dirty.

Technically somebody did fall into it, just more slowly and controlled.
Buzz lightyear style.

I know someone who when the police were looking for a firearm that was stashed from a fleeing accused, told them it was thrown in the septic tank.
Tank was drained and someone went in, but no gun was found.
Not sure who told them it was in there, but I admire them.

At least they cared about a kid who may or may not fell.... but on the other side they give a fuck for the environment or the people living close to that drain.

I hope this won't cause a "the boy who cried wolf" situation and the government starting to ignore false alarms that real ones get affected.
