A video of a tourist kicking trash into Nainital lake has gone viral, drawing widespread criticism on social media. The video, reportedly filmed by a local resident, shows the tourist being confronted for polluting the lake.

In the now-viral clip, the tourist is seen trying to shoo away the local who began recording him. The man had just kicked a pile of trash into the water. The local calmly tells him not to litter, but the tourist appears annoyed by the confrontation.

The incident took place near the popular Mall Road area. Locals said such behavior is becoming common as visitor numbers rise. The Nainital lake trash video has triggered a wave of comments calling for better enforcement of environmental laws.

“Nainital is one of the most beautiful places we have,” a social media user wrote. “But it hurts to see how casually people disrespect it.”

Environmentalists and local authorities have also spoken out. They urged tourists to respect natural spots and follow eco-friendly practices. The Nainital lake trash video serves as yet another reminder of the ongoing struggle to preserve India’s tourist destinations.

Many online users demanded fines or legal action against the man. Others praised the local who took the video for standing up for the environment.

So far, no official action has been reported. However, the video has added pressure on local authorities to act swiftly in such cases.

Tourism is a major part of Nainital’s economy, but locals say it should not come at the cost of the environment. Campaigns for clean lakes and responsible tourism have been gaining momentum in recent years.
