An X user has sparked discussion online after sharing his "unhygienic" experience of visiting Kolkata. In a series of posts, DS Balaji, a designer by profession, called Kolkata "the dirtiest city of India" and the "most unhygienic" after visiting areas that were overflowing with garbage and had open gutters. He shared pictures and videos from areas like Sealdah and Bada Bazaar to comment on the open gutters and the overwhelming stench of urine. "Can't breathe properly," he wrote, adding that while he struggled with the unhygienic conditions, locals were casually enjoying breakfast at a shop located at the top of one of the gutters. This is not some Starving African city, it's Kolkata.A busy Metro station, Called Sealdah. And a market area called Bada Bazaar.Open gutters, and urine smell everywhere.
