Online Outcry Over Video of Man Urinating in Lonavala’s Bushi Dam

Social media users are demanding better facilities at the popular monsoon site following widespread condemnation of the footage.

Overview

  • The clip, shared on X on August 6 under the caption “Zero civic sense,” shows one man swimming as another openly urinates into the same stream at Bushi Dam.
  • Within hours the video surpassed 600,000 views and provoked comments warning of health risks and decrying a decline in public decency.
  • Bushi Dam draws hundreds of visitors each monsoon season but often operates without adequate restroom or hygiene infrastructure.
  • Critics point to a similar March incident in Pune where a man urinating at a traffic junction was detained, underscoring repeated civic lapses.
  • Despite growing calls for sanitation upgrades and awareness drives, no official response or on-site intervention has been reported.
