An alaming news for most Hindus....it is time industries polluting the sacred river are made to pay a heavy fine...Pollution Control Board should become more agressive and force these Industries to treat the sewage they produce, before dumping in the Ganges. Something drastic needs to be done, otherwise future generations will only hear about the Ganga and not see it

We need to overall plan of actiont of action to revive ganges.1.There should be regulatory measures including strict penalities for polluting the rivers by dumping chemical waste.There should be waste treatment plants 2.We need to avoid plastics in every day life 3.We need to increase use of green recylced materials 4.We need to avoid pollution 5.Floro carbons needs to be avoided including in refigration plants. This was we ensure our glacires do not melt fast due to grfeen house effect and also ozeone layer is preserved.Stope this petrol engines,start using bicycles etc.

All the natural resources are receding The Earth is the only known planet where the living beings are found so far. As far as the human knowledge goes, the environment of earth is conducive for living. But as the years are passing the factors influencing the living condition are getting deteriorated. Many are due to manmade reasons. The rich oil reserve under the earth’s crust is emptied with a rapid pace. Deforestation is at alarming speed. The extinction or huge reduction of many species of birds, fishes or animals are with a rocket speed. The global warming is increasing, the rain quantity is reducing the water reserve is shrinking. Is it a sign of pushing the earth towards a dooms day?

A most alarming situation. What should be done to check global warming? In another 20 years, there will be no Gangotri glacieer and no Ganga! We should all do our little bit towards preventing the meltdown.

The dangers of Global warming on civilization and the Gangotri in particular should be made known to each and every citizen of India by means of a Tax,for this is the only way.However you can bet that our UPA(Congress and Communists) politicians will devise a Caste and religious based method of Taxing in the hope that Gangotri will not melt.

The Ganga river basin states need to pay for the clean up. It cannot be cleaned up by tax payers across the country. UP, Bihar and WB should pay for the same. These states do not contribute to the exchequer at all. No worthwhile industries are here. Agriculture lands are hugh. But agriculturists are not taxed. Unless they are beaten under the belt they will not change.

Mr Narsimhan seems to have too much of hatred towards UP, Bihar & WB. I request him to please clear the filth from his mind & be responsible while giving such statements.

To save nature means to think long term and take some pains to make future generations happy. Forget about politicians, it is more imp. to know how many of us are ready to make the sacrifice TODAY !!
