Madikeri: With used water bottles, plastic covers, cups and such other wastes littered all along the roads leading to popular tourist spots in the district, here is a veteran environmentalist who stands guard to keep the ‘Kote Abbey Falls' in Makkandur Gram Panchayat (GP) limits always free of wastes and garbage.
The splendorous Kote Abbey Falls is located near Avandi village, about 14 kms from Madikeri and comes under Makkandur GP. The falls, situated in the midst of lush green environs, was lesser known until a few years ago. But it gradually turned out into a popular tourist destination in the past couple of years, with tourists flocking to the Falls on a regular basis.
