In an Instagram video documenting his return, he showed himself removing waste from the water and riverbank once again. Social media users praised his continued efforts while criticizing local civic sense regarding waste disposal. Bittu previously led cleanup drives in Delhi, Gurugram, and Noida, collecting significant quantities of waste from the Yamuna River and Khedki Daula.
