Haridwar Viral Video: The incident in Haridwar speaks volumes about the extent to which some youth will go for social media fame. The holy city, serene beauty combined with religious significance, turned into a venue for a dramatic event when a young woman got so engrossed in making a reel for social media that she slipped and fell into the surging River Ganga near Vishnu Ghat.

Dancing for Fame Turns Dangerous

In the Haridwar Viral Video we can see she was acting on the river banks to increase her likes, comments, and followers. In the search for perfection in an 'in' thing on social media, she slipped and fell into the river. Thankfully, she knew good swimming; she could keep herself afloat in the water until she got rescued. A video of this incident went viral across all social media platforms, raising a big furor.

Shri Ganga Sabha, the body entrusted with conducting activities on the riverbanks, has time and again issued warnings on such hazardous programs. The organization has appealed to the public to confine videography and photography to the safer reaches and, particularly at Har Ki Pauri and other ghats nearby. But at the same time, the majority game was getting a viral video by hook or crook, irrespective of danger.

Shri Ganga Sabha's Repeated Warnings Ignored

But police, acting on the Sabha's complaints, have been rigorously implementing the rules of late and levying fines on those who have been risking their lives for social media. However, the incidents continuing to happen indicate the need for more strong measures so as to check this careless behavior.

And with rivers and streams swollen due to recent heavy rains, such stunts are even riskier. It is particularly the case over the boom in water levels of the River Ganga, and it behoves people not to risk their lives for a few ephemeral moments of Internet fame.
