‘Zero Civic Sense’: Shocking Video Shows Man Urinating in Stream at Bhushi Dam While Another Swims Nearby; Internet Outraged
In a deeply unsettling incident that has triggered widespread outrage online, a video from Maharashtra’s popular monsoon destination — Bhushi Dam in Lonavala — has surfaced showing a man urinating directly into a flowing stream while another individual is casually enjoying a swim just a few feet away. The footage has since gone viral, raising serious questions about hygiene, public behavior, and the overall civic sense of tourists at natural locations.
The clip, reportedly captured by a concerned bystander, starts with serene visuals of one man swimming in the narrow water stream. But within moments, the disturbing scene unfolds — another man is spotted standing on the edge, blatantly relieving himself into the very same water body. The person filming can be heard reacting in shock and attempting to alert the unaware swimmer to what’s happening nearby.

Bhushi Dam, known for its scenic stair-like waterfalls, lush surroundings, and charm during the monsoon season, attracts thousands of visitors every year looking to relax and enjoy nature. But incidents like these are making many reconsider whether such places are safe or sanitary to visit anymore.
This latest video has reignited a conversation on the lack of public etiquette and responsibility in shared spaces. Across social media platforms, users have expressed their disgust, with many highlighting how such irresponsible behavior damages not only the environment but also the experience for other visitors.
The viral video was originally posted on X (formerly Twitter) with a blunt caption that read: “Zero civic sense! One guy is enjoying the bath while the other one is pissing in the stream. This is the reason why I’ve stopped going in pools & such streams.”
Under the post, reactions have poured in from all corners — some users slammed the men involved, calling the act “Yuck! Disgusting,” while others took the opportunity to criticize the broader issue of India’s civic awareness. A few, however, questioned the authenticity of the video, suggesting it might have been staged for attention.
Regardless of whether the clip is real or orchestrated, the emotions it has stirred are genuine. For many, this is yet another example of how public places are often disrespected and misused due to a lack of basic understanding of hygiene and community responsibility.
