Man cleans city river for 8 months, only for it to be fouled again
Original: In India, Bittu spent 8 months cleaning the river in his city The water was so contaminated that he suffered infections
A man named Bittu spent eight months cleaning a contaminated river in his Indian city, enduring infections on his hands and feet from the polluted water. He succeeded in restoring the river, but within a month it had become contaminated again. The story has drawn sympathy and frustration, with many pointing to the limits of individual effort against pollution when broader dumping and enforcement problems remain unresolved.
Why now: The frustrating relapse after months of personal sacrifice has struck a chord in discussions about river pollution in India.
