Waterfall or Open Bar? Viral Video Exposes Disgusting Tourist Behaviour in Himachal
A video shared by a tourist visiting Lapas Waterfall in Himachal Pradesh is now viral. The video shows trash, drinking, and stalls around the waterfall area. It has started a new conversation about how public places are treated in India.
In the video, the tourist starts by saying she is excited to visit the waterfall. But soon, the camera shows a different story. The area is full of garbage. Men are seen drinking in groups. Small shops and stalls have taken over parts of the trail. The video shows how a peaceful place has turned messy.
The woman used sarcastic text and voice-over to share her anger. She added the text, “India has the best civic sense,” and then wrote below, “Just kidding. We lack civic sense.” She also said, “You find a pretty place, and it’s immediately capitalised and turned into a market.” Many people online agreed with her.
Take a look at the video here.
Many users shared their thoughts in the comments. One said, “Civic sense is a joke in India.” Another person wrote, “The problem is they never clean up after their picnic. That’s the main issue. Even in other countries, people drink outdoors, but they clean up.”
Some people also blamed the education system. A user commented, “Why can’t they teach civic sense, traffic rules, and basic constitutional law in schools? There needs to be a textbook on manners and civic responsibility.”
The video has started a new round of discussion on how natural places are handled. It shows how quickly clean places can become dirty when too many people come in and rules are not followed. People are also asking why no action is taken to keep such places clean and peaceful.
Many feel both visitors and local authorities are responsible. Visitors are being blamed for littering and misbehaving. At the same time, people want the government to make and follow better rules to protect public spots.
