Bittu Tabahi’s quest to clean a river: installs two dustbins, one gets stolen

Bittu Tabahi, known as Surendra Singh Choudhary, captured a video four days ago detailing the condition of Ajnar River in Rajgarh district, which he had spent eight months cleaning. To discourage littering, he installed two dustbins near the river. However, the following day, one of the bins was missing. The video caption read, "जनता की सुविधा के लिए रखे ड्रम भी चोरी हो गए 😢😢".

Tabahi expressed shock that the rubbish bins, intended to reduce pollution, were stolen, questioning the community's basic civic sense and responsibility towards the environment. Despite the river being dirty again, Tabahi did not give up and resumed his cleaning efforts, this time starting from the beginning. He admitted in his previous video that he was not a strong swimmer, yet he waded into the river to pick up waste, only to discover the second dustbin stolen once more.

Public response to the video ranged from frustration and disappointment to calls for stricter enforcement of laws and civic responsibility, with one commenter stating, "Each and everyone should be fined."
