"Ken Okawa, 30, said he was happy to bring this tradition to his very first
World Cup match as he stooped down to collect discarded cups and other
garbage from the floor around his seat

Japanese fans celebrated their team's 4-0 victory over Tunisia in the
1,000th match in World Cup history on Saturday by staying behind at
Monterrey?s stadium to collect rubbish from the stands.

The practice, known in Japan as *gomi hiroi,* reflects an emphasis on
taking responsibility for shared spaces.

'It's common sense in Japan,' said Ichiro Oyo, 27."

*NOTE: *Please access the source to read the entire story.

"Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Sidhu?s story is how little the
recognition has altered him.

*Chandigarh:* On June 23, when President Droupadi Murmu confers the Padma
Shri for social service upon 88-year-old Inderjit Singh Sidhu at
Rashtrapati Bhavan, the retired Punjab cadre Indian Police Service (IPS)
officer will take his place alongside an array of celebrated actors,
artists, scientists and public figures.

Yet among all the many awardees, few stories are likely to be as quietly
and unobtrusively remarkable as that of the former Deputy Inspector General
(DIG) of police, who spends his days cleaning up a problem most Indians
avoid confronting, but many knowingly help create: the garbage they discard.

What troubles the octogenarian the most, is not the cleaning, but society?s
attitude towards it. 'People do not feel ashamed while littering,' the
reclusive Sindhu told *The Tribune*
<https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/chandigarh/chandigarhs-broom-warrior-inderjit-singh-sidhu-to-receive-padma-shri-on-june-23/>
.' Instead, they feel ashamed while cleaning it up, he added."
