Viral Video: A peaceful hill station in Himachal Pradesh is once again at the center of an online storm, this time not for its beauty, but for the mess left behind by careless tourists. A video is going viral where people can be seen drinking and littering near a scenic waterfall, upsetting many online. Saumya Pathak shared the video on Instagram. In the clip, she walks near a stunning waterfall, but what she shows next is shocking: people openly drinking alcohol and throwing garbage around. She says, “Very beautiful waterfall, but people are drinking alcohol near the waterfall. India mein jab bhi koi khoobsurat jagah hoti hai toh log usko capitalise kar lete hain. Samaan bech rahe hain, log kachra fek dete hain.”

Saumya also points out how vendors have set up shops around the area, and how people are treating this natural spot like a marketplace. A sarcastic text on the video says, “India has the best civic sense.” And in the caption, she writes, “Just kidding. We lack civic sense.” The clip has now gone viral, and people on social media are furious.

The video, shared seven days ago, received 899 views from social media users. Many users are calling out the lack of basic civic sense and respect for nature. One user wrote, "You are right. Even Next Gen isn't improved in the right direction." "Locals hi barbad krte hai jagah. Tourists ka 50% contribution hai bs," a second user added. "I believe it's the outcome of a failed education system. Why can't they teach civic sense, motor vehicle rules, and basic constitutional law in schools? There needs to be a textbook on civics sense and manners in schools all over India," a third user added.

"Hamey facilities developed nation jaise america japan jaisi chahiye lekin hamari harkatein pakistan aur bangladesh jaisi hai," a fourth user wrote. "The problem is they never clean up after their picnic.. That's the main problem... Even in other countries, people do have picnics and drinks outside. But they need to clean up," added a fifth user. "This is the Lapas waterfall, Barot, Himachal Pradesh, and it has been completely destroyed by the tourists and the villagers who live there. They openly sell beers and encourage this pathetic behaviour," added another user.

"We are proud of our bad behavior… if you tell something about basic responsibility for nature then situation turns into disaster 99% people who gathered there will support those besharam kachada men no one will support you," added another user. "That's the reason I don't like to travel in India! So sad India has so so many beautiful locations and places.... no other part of the world is as beautiful as India, but sadly, because of lack of civic sense of the majority of the tourists, all places became same dirty and you don't feel like going back there," another user added.
