Two Puri residents on bike expedition to raise awareness on waste management

BHUBANESWAR: Two persons, including a journalist from Puri have embarked on a bike expedition to different states to sensitise people about solid waste management. Madhu Sudan Mishra, a Puri-based journalist of a news channel, and his friend Mitra Bhanu Naik planned to reach Leh – Ladakh on their motorcycle, covering at least 6,000 km in eleven states.
The duo, who started their journey from Grand Road in front of the Jagannath temple on August 25, planned to cover the distance in 20 days. “I had visited different states on my motorcycle to sensitise people to shun the bad habits of tobacco and narcotics consumption. This time, our focus was to address the issue of pollution caused by poor waste management,” said Mishra, secretary of Mission Odisha, a voluntary organisation.
