Ganga Rejuvenation Plan

The National Green Tribunal has issued bailable warrants against Haryana and Rajasthan governments for not submitting their action plan on cleaning and rejuvenation of the river Ganga.

The Ganga rejuvenation project, which is of national importance, is being carried out by officials "who do not know" how many drains are polluting the river, the National Green Tribunal said today.

The National Green Tribunal, which was asked to act against industrial units polluting Ganga by the Supreme Court, today unveiled its stage-wise plan to restore the river to its pristine glory.

The Narendra Modi government's ambitious plan to rejuvenate the holy river Ganga is set to get Israel as a partner.

Government has asked the pollution control boards to initiate action against industrial units discharging contaminated effluents in river Ganga, Union Minister Uma Bharti informed Lok Sabha today.

The government is considering the feasibility of a proposal to link three rivers of the northeast with the Ganga, union Minister for Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Uma Bharti said on Monday.

Despite getting several international offers, rejuvenation of Ganga cannot be modelled on foreign rivers as the river has cultural and religious significance, Water Minister Uma Bharti said today.

President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi today praised Prince Karim Aga Khan for the work done by his foundation towards sanitation, heritage conservation and rural development.

Strongly batting for inter-linking of rivers, Tamil Nadu today asked the Centre to take it up on the lines of the Ganga Rejuvenation project, saying waiting for consensus from states not supporting the idea would only "delay" it.

As part of its efforts to make the Ganga rejuvenation programme a mass movement, the Ministry of Water Resource today launched a web portal to connect with the public on the ambitious project of the National Democraic Alliance or NDA Government.

The government today said that based on the outcome of the action plan on Ganga, the program may be extended in a phased manner to other major rivers in the country.

Environmental scientists associated with the Ganga Rejuvenation Programme have claimed that the Union Government's proposal to build barrages, dams and enable navigation of small ships on the river is going to affect aquatic life and create more pollution.
