Several social media users have called out the incident, stressing that Indians lack respect for public property.

“Civic sense is the true backbone of any civilized community,” a user wrote.

“I wish there was camera and capture all images of those culprits if govt employees seize their PF and remove all ppl from govt job make them disqualify in future jobs too and other confiscate their property under destruction of public property trust me civic sense will wake up for their generation also,” another user commented.

“The north part of India is fighting with civic sense issues and will never change,” a third user reacted.
