Many passers by do have a look at him but never stop to ask what and why is doing this. Meet the young man of 73, Mallikarjun Shetty who resides in Hanuman Nagar. He retired as a superintendent engineer from Maharashtra Electricity Supply Board and now spends most of his time for spreading the message of going green and avoid using plastic bags.

He was also instrumental in shifting the Suvarna soudha from Vaccine depot.
