Environmental activist Bittu Tabahi, who single‑handedly cleaned a river, has outlined his next move after receiving a job offer from the Netherlands.
Bittu Tabahi gained nationwide attention after he took it upon himself to clear a polluted river, mobilising local volunteers and personally removing debris for weeks. His grassroots effort was widely covered in the media and highlighted the impact an individual can have on water conservation.
