Ajnar River is polluted again weeks after Bittu Tabahi cleaned it
Surendra Singh Choudhary, known as Bittu Tabahi, found the Ajnar River polluted again in Madhya Pradesh’s Rajgarh district.
He had spent eight months cleaning the river alone, removing rubbish from it.
Just weeks after the cleanup, plastic and other waste had piled up again along the riverbanks and in the water.
Choudhary said he was disappointed, but returned to remove the waste rather than give up.
He also asked people online for ideas on how to clear the river more effectively.
The return of the rubbish shows one person’s work cannot keep the river clean if people continue dumping waste.
No official local-government plan to stop dumping or clean the river has been announced.
