Amid reports that the Narendra Modi government had ordered excavation at the Qutub Minar complex in Delhi, Union culture minister issued a clarification. G. Kishan Reddy told reporters that the government had taken no such decision, and the Archaeological Survey of India, or ASI has been given no such task.

Experts are calling for more sensitivity among tourists and pilgrims, citing the 2013 flood disaster in Kedarnath. Prof MS Negi, HoD - Geography at Garhwal Central University said, "Plastic waste at a sensitive location like Kedarnath doesn't only have an impact on faith, but also on safety. Plastic will lead to quick erosion after rains. Quick erosion leads to big landslides. Therefore, it is very dangerous. Secondly, a source of faith should be kept clean. When plastic garbage covers religious places, then national and international tourists and pilgrims will be affected."
Prof MC Nautiyal, director of HAPPRC at the university told ANI, "Tourism pressure on Kedarnath, Badrinath etc has increased a lot. If tourist pressure increases, then throughout the route, plastic and other types of garbage builds up. It can be taken to deeper forest areas by natural elements. There aren't any proper sanitation facilities there. That's why waste usually ends up in nature."
