Haridwar: Hundreds of activists today took part in a mass campaign across four states to clean numerous 'ghats' of the Ganges, a spiritual group in Haridwar said.
The mass cleaning took place at 200 points between Uttarkashi in Uttarakhand and Patna Sahib in Bihar, and also covered Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand.
A spokesman for Gayatri Pariwar, which organised the event, told IANS that the emphasis was both on cleaning the 'ghats' and spreading awareness on keeping the holy river clean.
