Bittu Tabahi says his eight-month cleanup of the Ajnar River in Biaora, Rajgarh district, has been undone as he returns to find the river heavily polluted with fresh garbage. In videos shared on Instagram, he shows waste strewn along the river only weeks after he cleared its banks.
Across reports, outlets describe his reaction as “heartbreaking,” with him expressing frustration that the effort appears to have gone to waste. Times of India adds that he resumes cleaning and continues to document the situation, while also noting the broader difficulty of preventing recurring pollution even after significant removal. NDTV focuses on the visual contrast between the cleaned stretch and its renewed littering, reporting that it happens shortly after the cleanup period.
The different coverage largely agrees on the same sequence: he dedicates months to cleaning, finds the river fouled again soon after, shares the update publicly, and indicates he will keep working rather than stop.
