Varanasi Diaper Tree Shocks Family Dumps: A unique scene outside a house in Banaras has gone viral on social media, where used diapers are seen hanging on a tree instead of fruits. Instagram influencer Shweta Kataria shared the video of this ‘diaper tree’, which shows a double storey house. Clothes of small children were seen drying on the balcony of this house, which showed that a small child lives there.

Shweta is telling in viral reels. She says with great surprise, “He has become a tree with diapers. Doesn’t he have a dustbin in his house? What future are he giving to his children?” During the recording, a family member was also seen throwing garbage on an empty plot. Shweta emphasized on the negative impact of disposable diapers on the environment and advised to adopt recycled cloth diapers. He told that these are cheap, better for the skin and environment friendly.
Social media users got angry
The video was also shared on Reddit’s r/IndianCivicFails, where it was titled ‘[NOT OC] Shared with the caption ‘THE TREE WHERE YOU GET NOT FRUITS BUT DIAPERS’. Outrage was expressed about this family on social media. Users wrote, “Civic sense has now gone into the gutter,” and people also said, “It is the responsibility of the government.” Many people supported using cloth diapers. People also said that people don’t like the smell of this colony, they themselves should take steps in this regard. Social boycott of such people is necessary.
The viral video has definitely put pressure on the local administration, but more than that it is a social responsibility. Experts say that diapers are made of plastic and chemicals, which can pollute soil and water.
