A video showing a group of youths — including young girls — openly consuming alcohol at Futala Lake, one of Nagpur’s most popular public spots, has gone viral on social media, sparking widespread outrage and raising serious concerns about law enforcement and public decency.
The footage, believed to have been recorded over the weekend, captures the group brazenly drinking in full public view, effectively turning the iconic lakefront into an “open bar.” The video’s circulation online has drawn strong reactions from citizens, with many demanding strict action and accountability from the authorities.
Residents were quick to criticize the lack of police patrolling and surveillance, especially during peak evening hours when the area sees heavy footfall from families, tourists, and college students. Locals expressed dismay that despite repeated instances of public nuisance, no preventive measures appear to be in place.
Futala Lake, known for its scenic beauty and recently upgraded promenade, has unfortunately become a recurring venue for such incidents, prompting concerns about safety, order, and the misuse of public spaces.
Several citizens have taken to social media, tagging both the Nagpur Police and the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), urging them to impose zero tolerance for public drinking and to step up enforcement through regular patrolling and stricter penalties.
As of now, no official statement has been released by the police or the civic administration regarding action taken in this specific case.
