Abhinav Shukla criticizes Raghav Juyal
Raghav Juyal posted a video on his Instagram, expressing his frustration about littered plastic and beer bottles near a waterfall in Dehradun, Uttrakhand. In the video, he was seen taking a swim under a waterfall, then pointing out a plastic bottle in his hand, lashing out at tourists for polluting the area with plastic waste and other garbage.
In the video, he said, “Ye sab yahan mila hai, aapko agar swag se swagat karna hai na toh apne ghar mein kijiye. Ye locals kar rahe hai gandagi ye mujhe pata chala. Please haath jod kar vinti hai aap logon se gandagi mat kijiye. Ye sab mat fekiye vahan thank you. (We found this here. Do this at your home and not here. We heard locals are littering the place. I request you with folded hands to stop this. Thank you).”
Sharing the post, Raghav captioned, “Broken beer bottles, plastic bottles, we need pollution police in Dehradun now it’s enough.”
Abhinav Shukla’s comment
After the video went viral, Abhinav Shukla commented, "He explores hidden places with his Outdoor Adventure Organisers (commercial) friends/ partners.. then makes a fancy REEL ..revealing pristine locations to public then he expects that public won't come with those Outdoor Adventure Organisers. Once 3-4 companies get a whiff the place gets polluted which is inevitable (lack of self discipline of public). Once place gets polluted he gets to make another REEL angry and livid so that the public can appreciate his concern! Its all about a REEL."
Abhinav's comment sparked a debate with some defending Raghav for his efforts. This isn't the first time Abhinav has called out celebrities for environmental issues. In 2023, he criticized Vidyut Jammwal for lighting a fire near a tree while camping in the forest.
