On National River Day on November 28, the Pune Municipal Corporation pledged to dedicate one day a week for a year to clean the rivers of Mula and Mutha.

“How many of us know where our food comes from? At a time where everything we pick from the grocery store is laden with pesticides, growing our own food can help cut down health risks and also ensure our children get their food in its freshest form.”

For the last 22 years, this man who runs a humble bhurji-pav stall in Old Tofkhana, Shivajinagar, has saved suicidal people from drowning. Apart from this, he has helped fish out 600 bodies from the Mula-Mutha rivers due to suicides or accidental deaths.
