You have a very impressive profile Ranjan:) The recent study by Uttarakhand Environment Conservation and Pollution Control Board says that the level of pollution in the holy river has reached alarming proportions. Things have come to such a pass that the Ganga water is at present not fit just for drinking and bathing but has become unusable even for agricultural purposes.

The level of coliform present in water should be below 50 for drinking purposes, less than 500 for bathing and below 5000 for agricultural use—the present level of coliform in Ganga at Haridwar has reached 5500. Based on the level of coliform, dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen, the study put the water in A, B, C and D categories. While A category is considered fit for drinking, B for bathing, C for agriculture and D is for excessive pollution level.

It is distressing to learn that one by one most of the government agencies are themselves responsible for polluting Holy river Ganga.

You are absolutely right Mr. Ramesh Balam.

It’s shameful that despite several projects on the Ganga Conservation the

condition of this river is worst.

Thanks.
