If you find this surprising you should check out "The Ugly Indian" TED talk.

It's a little bit unrelated but the ugly Indian explains a bit about exactly this issue Indians seem to have, in a interesting Ted talk.

I've never heard of The Ugly Indian before and your comment came across as totally shocking to say the the least. So relieved when I saw it was his name (or the name of the movement?)

Some info from a tedx video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf1VA5jqmRo

"What's the message? If you see a problem, you will go fix it, nobody stops you, you can actually make a change, don't waste your time complaining."¹

When it's about public space, isn't it actually your place to demand such changes from the the public institutions that actually have the authority and responsibility for its maintenance? ...and also to complain when the institutions in question don't do their job? The filth is just a symptom, not a cause. The message quoted above calls for a kind of civic action that will only detract the needed attention from addressing the real problems of the system.
