Garbage Overshadows Kasol’s Beauty: Viral Video Sparks Outrage

Trending News: There was a time when Kasol was fondly known as the ‘Mini Israel of India. There was peace in the valleys, life in the rivers, and freshness in the forests. But now? A viral video has exposed the truth of this paradise - plastic, dirt, and rot.

In this video uploaded on Twitter, a man turns the camera towards that part of the forest and says, "There is a very dirty smell. Look at how it was before and now..." Pain, despair, and anger are clearly visible in his words. Plastic bags, bottles, and other garbage lying everywhere have turned this peaceful place into an open garbage place.

When paradise was shamed

Kasol is a precious pearl not only of Himachal but also of India's tourism map. But the recent viral video has shown that if both tourists and the administration do not take responsibility together, then it does not take long for this paradise to become hell. As soon as the video went viral, people's anger erupted on social media.

People's resolve echoed on social media

One user criticized the authorities, stating, "The Kasol Municipal Council deserves to be suspended. They have turned the natural paradise into a gutter." Another wrote, "Not just the administration, we people are also guilty. We are ruining the place that we are going to visit."

People asked that if a green tax is being taken, then where is it being used? Is the garbage in the forests and the piles of plastic on the banks of the rivers the service being received in exchange for green tax?

Administration vs. Tourists: Whose Fault?

This debate is no longer just about cleanliness but also about mentality. On one hand there is the negligence of the administration; on the other hand there is the irresponsibility of the tourists. People go to the mountains and find peace there, but while returning, they leave a burden behind them - plastic, bottles, and countless stains.

Warning before monsoon

Some aware citizens feared that if action is not taken soon, this garbage will flow into the rivers during monsoon, increasing the risk of heavy water pollution and spread of disease. This is not only an environmental crisis but also a sign of a human disaster.

If we do not wake up now, it will be too late

This picture of Kasol is a warning—if we do not take care even now, then one by one the beautiful valleys of Himachal will turn into a pile of garbage. There is a need for two things: administrative responsibility and civic sense of tourists. Cleanliness is not just a government job; it is our shared responsibility.
