Nearly 75 children, aged between 11 to 13 years, spent hours clearing up garbage from the Mula-Mutha riverbed near Sangamwadi yesterday. The kids who came from schools across the city were lending a helping hand to the Pune unit of the Sea Cadet Corps (SCC).

They managed to rid the riverbed of 312 kgs of accumulated garbage in two-and-a-half-hours, a sizeable quantity considering that the civic body claims to clean the riverbed every month.
