Dear Mr Patil, Respect!

Here’s what Mr. Patil was quoted telling Hindustan Times following his heart-winning act:

“I stand beside the river from morning till 11 pm at night with a whistle and alert people not to throw garbage in the river. Many behave rudely with me, but I still pursue them not to do such things.”

“I’ve been doing this every year for five years now. And will continue doing this till my health permits.”

Rare to come across such devout environment-loving people these days.

Way to go, Mr. Patil. You’ve inspired us all.
