Mr Modi’s affinity to nature was also visible during his visit to Mahabalipuram in Tamil Nadu last year, where the PM engaged in plogging, that is a clean up of the beach.

Plogging, a combination of jogging with picking up litter, started as an organised activity in Sweden around 2016 and has since spread to other countries. (UNI)
