Eight months of work down the dumps? Bittu Tabahi finds Ajnar River choked with garbage again

Eight months of tireless effort cleaning the Ajnar River in Madhya Pradesh’s Rajgarh district have seemingly been undone, according to 20-year-old Bittu Tabahi, who shared recent videos of the river's current state. In a video posted to his Instagram account, Tabahi lamented that his eight months of hard work had been wasted, as the river was once again choked with plastic bags and garbage.

This stark contrast to the river's clean condition a few weeks ago has drawn attention to the recurring issue of river pollution and the lack of responsibility on the part of citizens. Despite his efforts, Tabahi has not received support from authorities or fancy equipment, yet he remains committed to cleaning the river. He has also reached out to the public for suggestions on how to remove garbage from the river more swiftly and efficiently.
