Rudraprayag Shame: Garbage Dumped Into Holy Mandakini Despite Cleanliness Drives

Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand – A undated viral video reportedly (according to social media) from Agastyamuni Silli has sparked outrage after locals were caught dumping garbage bags directly into the Mandakini River from Vinayakdhar Parking exact location unclear.

Despite repeated government and Nagar Panchayat campaigns on cleanliness and river protection, the footage shows people treating the sacred river as a drain. Shockingly, authorities remained silent even as the act occurred openly.

While women in the area raised their voices against the pollution, civic bodies failed to act. The incident has reignited anger over official negligence and citizens’ disregard for the environment.

Locals and activists are demanding a zero-tolerance policy and strict penalties to protect the Mandakini, a lifeline for pilgrims and residents alike.
