Bihar’s Rajgir Cricket Stadium: Bihar’s new Rajgir International Cricket Stadium, which opened on October 5, has already faced an unfortunate problem. Despite the modern design and 40,000-seat capacity the stadium’s walls are stained with red gutkhas. The habit of spitting gutkha, common across India, seems impossible to stop. From train stations to parks and office stairwells, this practice leaves red stains everywhere.

A video circulating on X shows the disturbing scene. In the clip, the person filming says “Thukna chalu ho gaya. Gutkha Men saab aa gye hai inha. Attack chalu ho gaya hai” (Spitting has started. Gutkha men have arrived. The attack has begun.) The caption of the video says, “Biharis spat gutkha at the first international cricket stadium in Bihar on its inauguration day.”

Public Reaction
The video quickly went viral, reaching over two lakh views. Netizens shared their reactions in the comments. One person wrote, “Gutkha should not be allowed just like guns and knives.” Another said, “Why don’t we ban guthka? This problem will not go away until or unless we ban guthka completely.” A third user tried to make a joke, writing, “That’s a signature mark to remind that paint work is still pending here.”
Some comments focused on culture and infrastructure. One viewer said, “That’s Bihari way of inauguration. Don’t be surprised.”
Another wrote, “For me more disturbing part is that why the wall is not plastered (if it’s still not under development). India should push that last 10% to make infra look elite rather than kaam chalau attitude Wala kaam.”

Failure of Civic sense
The new stadium was supposed to show Bihar’s progress and make the state proud. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar opened it and people were excited. But now, with gutkha stains and walls not fully finished, the place looks sad and messy.
This shows the bigger problem of gutkha spitting in India and how it ruins public places.
