A social media claim that a local resident, Bittu, cleaned Biyavra’s Ajnaar River single‑handedly drew praise from Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, but residents and the municipal body have challenged its authenticity.
Social media platforms were abuzz after a video surfaced showing a man identified as Bittu claiming he had single‑handedly cleared the Ajnaar River in Biyavra, Madhya Pradesh. The claim quickly attracted commendations from several public figures, including the state’s Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, who praised the alleged effort as a model of civic responsibility.
However, residents of Biyavra and officials from the local municipal council have publicly disputed the narrative. They assert that the river’s condition remains unchanged and that the cleanup was part of a broader, coordinated effort by municipal workers and volunteers, not the work of one individual.
The municipal authority has announced that a formal assessment of the river’s cleanliness will be conducted, and it plans to release an official statement clarifying the extent of any recent cleaning activities. Meanwhile, the episode underscores the growing scrutiny of viral claims that receive political endorsement before verification.
Local authorities have urged the public to rely on verified information and cautioned against the spread of unsubstantiated stories that could mislead citizens about environmental initiatives.
