Can Ganga ever be restored to its pristine purity and beauty?
Yes, Ganga can be restored to its pristine purity. Sustained and concerted efforts are required both by the government and the citizens. It will not take more than a decade if serious and honest efforts are made. Are you satisfied with the efforts being made to restore Ganga? I’m satisfied that efforts are being made atleast. Earlier there was no plan. A beginning has been made. Now STPs are being planned. New colonies are being planned with sewage management system. KDA plans to construct 3 STPs under the New Master Plan. There is no dearth of money. Things are happening. What do you think about the prevalent polluting social practices like body dumping etc. How can this be mitigated? Mostly poor people do this. Electric crematoria should be made functional and popularised. Awareness is required on a massive scale. Administration should be strict and should keep a constant vigil on such activities. Do religious leaders have some role in restoring Ganga? Religion unites people. People
