Bittu Tabahi Engages With The Ocean Cleanup, Seeks Next State for River Cleanup
Surendra Singh Choudhary, known as Bittu Tabahi, gained attention for single-handedly cleaning the polluted Ajnar River in Madhya Pradesh. Following a job offer from Boyan Slat, CEO of the Netherlands-based NGO The Ocean Cleanup, Bittu shared a video call with the organisation and asked people across India to suggest which state he should visit next to continue his cleanup efforts. His initiative, largely self-funded and independent, has inspired widespread public support and recognition, including praise from Madhya Pradesh's Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
