Faces of Nanganallur 2

Mr Chidambaram

There were scores of people taking a morning walk on the path surrounding the Ardhnareeswarar temple tank in Nanganallur. Mr Chidambaram seemed to stand out in this group. He was carrying a trash picker grabber caliper to pick up plastic trash and deposit it in the appropriate trash bin near the entrance.

May his tribe increase!
