‘It’s Really Risky To Walk Barefoot’: YouTuber Flags Broken Glass Buried At Goa Beach

Popular YouTuber Geeky Ranjit has raised concerns about safety at Goa’s Morjim Beach after finding several broken glass pieces buried in the sand during a morning walk. He shared his experience on X, warning that the hidden shards could seriously injure people, especially those walking barefoot along the shoreline.

The incident has also started a wider discussion online about civic responsibility and cleanliness in public spaces. Many users said the problem reflects a larger issue of people not disposing of waste properly in tourist spots.

Glass Pieces Were Hidden Under Shallow Water

Ranjit said he noticed multiple pieces of broken glass bottles scattered across the beach. Worried that someone could accidentally step on them, he and a few others

nearby decided to collect the sharp fragments themselves.

According to him, they managed to pick up around eight to nine pieces of glass from the area. He pointed out that several shards were partially covered by a thin layer of water, making them difficult to spot.

Sharing his experience on X, he wrote, “At the Morjim beach in Goa, was walking in the morning and found several pieces of broken glass bottles on the beach, we picked up 8-9 pieces I don’t know what’s wrong with people. Many of them just under water and it can cut the feet easily, where is civic sense.”

He also questioned the lack of enough dustbins at the beach, suggesting that better waste disposal facilities could help reduce such incidents.

Social Media Users Share Similar Experiences

Ranjit’s post prompted several users to share their own experiences from beaches in Goa and elsewhere.

An X user wrote, “We encountered the same situation in August 2025 that was the beach adjacent to Caravella resort. My colleague wanted to collect conch shells for his daughter but we were greeted with Hunter, KF Ultra and Elephant Strong bottles. He did get the shells and we segregated a few bottles and handed over to the resort staff.”

Another commented, “This is such a fundamental issue that the country faces. Teaching basic civic sense should be an important concern in the Indian society.”

“India can never be better in civic sense, we are at the very bottom of it. Zero empathy,” a person reacted.

A comment read, “Before teaching 1+1 in school. We must teach empathy and civic sense. Rest will follow later.” Someone else added, “Yes, it’s really risky to walk barefoot on beaches.”
