Greens protest over littering of public places

People have been littering a road at Babugudda by throwing waste every day even when a group of nature lovers in the city has been carrying out cleanliness drive regularly there. The group had also planted hundreds of saplings to make the area, which is adjacent to a crematorium, clean. However, people continue to throw garbage not bothering about the campaigns of greens.
