Activist Installs Dustbins to Curb Ajnar River Pollution, One Goes Missing
Environmental activist Surendra Singh Choudhary, known as Bittu Tabahi, has faced setbacks in his efforts to clean Madhya Pradesh's Ajnar River. After cleaning the river for the second time, he installed two dustbins along the riverbank to reduce littering, but one was stolen shortly after. Despite months of work, plastic waste has begun accumulating again, prompting concerns about public responsibility and calls for better waste management and enforcement in the area.
