‘Zero Civic Sense’: Viral Image of Poster on Flyover Signboard Sparks Outrage

Viral news: "Delhi is not for beginners." This phrase captures the city's unique vibe, often overwhelming for those unfamiliar with its lively culture. A recent example is a poster promoting Ramleela and Dussehra celebrations by a local committee in Pitampura, which was carelessly plastered on a flyover signboard. A photo of this incident has since gone viral on Reddit, drawing attention to the antics of the city's residents.

That a doctor, one of the organisers, listed his services-like physiotherapy and chiropractic care-on the poster also caught the Internet's attention. A rush of reactions followed, with many users expressing annoyance at the way advertisements and posters clog public areas and obscure important information. Some commented on how this incident reflects a broader issue-"zero civic sense"-displayed by a large chunk of the population.

In the comments section of the post, a Redditor shared a funny story about his dad's car, saying, "They slapped a sticker on the back, and now we can't remove it without damaging the car." Another user wrote, "At least they could have left off the first letter; I could have played 'guess the flyover' while stuck in traffic."

A third user wrote, "This is just one example. We use roads for jagrans, blast loud music during wedding processions, and have various encroachments. The list goes on."
