‘Tsunami made me do something for public’
Ludhiana, September 3
Anbu Charles is cycling his way through the cities and villages of the country to spread the message of clean environment and good health. Starting from his hometown Namakkal in Tamil Nadu on April 22, 2005, Charles has so far cycled 25, 000 km and wants to cover 10, 000 more.
Today he reached Ludhiana on his bicycle. He said, it was tsunami that moved him to do something for public good. He said, he had seen death from closer quarters. Once tsunami was over, it left a tale of death and destruction. It was an irony that water was all around, but there was nothing to drink.
