Activist Bittu Tabahi is upset over the theft of one of the two dustbins he placed near the Ajnar River in Madhya Pradesh's Rajgarh district. Tabahi installed the bins to encourage proper waste disposal, but when he returned, he discovered the bin was missing. The river's poor condition, with plastic waste and other garbage accumulating despite his cleanup efforts, highlights the ongoing challenges in maintaining cleanliness.

Despite facing difficulties, Tabahi, a B.Sc. student, has been cleaning the river since January 26, driven by concerns over the foul smell and garbage. His actions have garnered attention, prompting local authorities to take notice and initiate improvements. The missing dustbin serves as a reminder of the need for public cooperation and responsible waste disposal to protect the river.
