The Pissing Tanker: Fighting public urination in India one spray at a time【Video】

India has a public urination problem. And one vigilante group has taken matters into their own hands. Riding the streets of Mumbai on top of a bright orange tanker, masked members of activist group The Clean Indian patrol the city, giving anyone they find relieving themselves in an inappropriate place a public drenching with a water cannon.

In a video released by the group, who declare that the solution to public urination is public urination – “by the Pissing Tanker”, members of the public are seen laughing delightedly as the men get a shock soaking. It’s an extreme and apparently effective solution, but some have criticised the group, branding their actions too harsh, and accusing them of focusing on the perpetrators rather than the root problem.

In the slickly made video, accompanied by dramatic background music, we open with shots of men doing something they shouldn’t be in the streets.

▼ Just don’t do it, more like.

▼ This man is in for a shock as he is knocked from behind by a torrent of water.

▼ It’s the Pissing Tankard! Hard to miss.

▼ The vigilantes, anonymous members of the group, wear masks and military-style uniforms.

▼ Men are seen running for cover.

▼ Mumbai’s watching citizens, however, are visibly amused.

▼ These poor guys were knocked off their feet! Luckily, the ground’s clean…

This funny video, which you can watch below, has a serious message. Public urination is against the law in India, but is a common sight. As netizens have been quick to point out, however, the activists may be aiming their water cannon at the wrong target: more public toilets and better hygiene awareness would help the problem, but it’s hard to make a slick video about that. The Pissing Tankard gang shows no sign of putting down their cannon, though, if their motto is anything to go by: “We’ll stop when you stop.”
