A reader shares their experience of witnessing an individual, Kantharaju, also known as Srikanth, diligently picking up garbage along Hunsur Road.

The litter, carelessly thrown by irresponsible people, showed little regard for those who have to manually clean it every day.
I made a U-turn at the signal and returned to speak to him, to let him know that there are people who genuinely appreciate his work.
He always wears a smile despite the harsh nature of his job — perhaps resigned to it, simply stuck in circumstances beyond his control.
