In today’s era, often only useless and funny things go viral on social media, but sometimes such stories also come to light which touch the heart and become inspiration. One such story is that of Bittu Tabahi, a 20 year old youth from Biaora, a small town in Madhya Pradesh, who single-handedly took up the task of cleaning a dirty and polluted river. While people only complain, Bittu decided to do something different and started the work without any big resources. His hard work and passion not only changed the face of the river, but also attracted the attention of the entire country.

Started cleaning alone, friends also left me

Bittu, along with some of his friends, started cleaning the Ajnar river on January 26. In the beginning some people were with him, but gradually everyone retreated and he alone got involved in this mission. With simple tools in his hand and a big intention in his heart, he would go into the river every day and take out plastic waste, algae and dirt. This work was not easy, but he did not give up and continued working hard.

This young man from Biaora, MP, was criticized for claiming to have cleaned parts of a river just in order to gain social media views.
