While everyone is busy cleaning up their surroundings encouraged by the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan’, one man in Kandivli has been busy with his own ‘Aswachh Abhiyaan’. Police detained the 45-year-old man on Thursday for storing almost 20 tonnes of garbage at his house in Kandivli. Police said the fellow residents of the housing society had barred him from entering the premises with garbage that he collects. Frustrated with the curbs on his freedom, he set the waste in his house on fire. He was released with a warning on Friday morning.
