What does plogging mean?
According to Collins online dictionary, plogging has been described as the new pastime taking off in Sweden where people go for a jog and pick up litter at the same time. You pick and you jog – hence the term ‘plog.’
Modi visited Tamil Nadu to attend the second informal summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
