Youths made to travel 80 km in Karnataka to clean trash they left behind

Two tourists, who had littered an area in Karnataka's Kodagu district, had to travel back for 80 km from Madikeri to clean the garbage.

General Secretary of Kodagu Tourism Association, Madetira Thimmaiah, made them face the disciplinary action.

Secretary ran campaign on social media so that the duo returns and collect the garbage they had thrown.

Speaking to media, Madetira Thimmaiah said, "I found their phone number on a bill inside pizza box and called them, but they didn't give a positive response." "I posted the video of garbage on social media requesting the people of Kodagu to call them and ask them to collect the waste they threw irresponsibly.

I also informed the Circle Inspector who also contacted them and asked to do the same," he added.
