Deeply touched by the worsening state of rivers in the country, Sardar Gurmeet Singh, an environmentalist, today embarked upon an unprecedented trek of 600-odd kms to Har-ki-Pauri in Haridwar. His motto: Save water, save life!

The solitary trekker has plans to walk 10 hours a day and if the weather remains fair, hopes to reach his destination in the next 13 days.
