Haridwar (Uttarakhand): A video from Haridwar has triggered a debate on civic sense and respect for sacred places after three men were seen consuming alcohol on the banks of the River Ganga. The incident was recorded by a woman who confronted the men and asked them to leave the spot.
In the viral clip, the men are seen sitting on the riverbank with alcohol. The woman questions their behaviour, saying they were drinking liquor at a holy site and warns them to leave or face police action. Following the confrontation, one of the men is seen throwing his plastic cup into the river before all three leave the area.
The video was shared on social media with users praising the woman’s courage. Many called her action necessary to protect the sanctity of the Ganga, while others raised concerns over the lack of civic responsibility at religious and public places.
The clip also sparked mixed reactions online. Some demanded strict police action against such acts, while others pointed out that pollution of the Ganga from waste and chemicals often goes ignored despite public outrage over such incidents.
The incident has once again highlighted the need for better enforcement of rules and greater public awareness to maintain cleanliness and respect at sacred sites.
