In an extraordinary gesture of love for the environment, Akie Doi, a 38-year-old Japanese tourist, has taken it upon herself to clean the Puri beach in Odisha.
According to the Times of India, a music and yoga teacher hailing from Kanazawa, Japan, Doi first visited Puri in 2022 and fell in love with its beauty.
However, she was saddened to see the garbage left behind by beachgoers. Since then, she has been cleaning up the beach every morning.
