Viral video: Vegetable seller washes coriander in drain

A vegetable seller was caught on camera washing coriander leaves in a drain water in India’s Madhya Pradesh.

The video that has gone viral on social media is from Bhopal. Originally shared on Twitter, the clip shows the vendor dunking bunches of the herb into drain water collected on the road side. He then stacks them on a sheet on the ground on display for customers.

The person behind the camera asks him not to do so but the vegetable vendor pays no heed and continues his job.
