UK tourist compares Indore to Singapore, calls it a ‘model for sustainability’

A UK  tourist and vlogger from the UK, recently visited Indore, Madhya Pradesh, and was pleasantly surprised by the city's exceptional cleanliness. Known as India's cleanest city, Indore left a lasting impression on Daniel Pinto, drawing comparisons to Singapore — a global benchmark for urban hygiene and sustainability.

In his video caption, Daniel shared, I came here with no idea this city held that title, but it definitely felt like it. Nicknamed the ‘Singapore of India,’ Indore has been ranked the cleanest city in the country for 7 years in a row. It’s leading the charge with door-to-door garbage collection, 1,800 CCTV cameras monitoring for littering, and even a garbage café where you can exchange 1kg of plastic for a free meal. Indore isn’t just clean — it’s a city with purpose, showing the rest of the country what true sustainability looks like!”

His reaction has gone viral, generating chatter among Indian and international viewers alike, and spotlighting Indore’s efforts in waste management and environmental sustainability.

Many of the local users welcomed him with their comments, With one of the foreign users commenting “Indore is on my Indian bucket list! 👏”

Some users criticized the city saying “U didn't get food poisoning? Water is polluted.”

While some mocked, “Hey hey i saw a plastic bottle on the road 😂”

Another one said,  “By the way I live in that giant junction come when it rains you will find pool😂”
