For cleaner Ganga, ascetics stage protest on riverbed

Meerut | Saturday | 24th March, 2018

Summary:

I will discuss the issue with the minister for water resources, river development and Ganga rejuvenation when I go to Delhi next time. Talking to TOI, Acharya Krishna, a member of Ganga Seva Samiti, said, “Due to the religious significance of this place, devotees come here from far off places. However, there is no water even to take a holy dip. Our repeated requests to authorities have fallen in deaf ears.”Veerpal Nirvana, a member of Clean Ganga mission, said, “The main reason for the depleting level in Shukratal is that enough water has not been released from the dam. It will be sorted out soon.”.
