SOMETHING TO KNOW ABOT GANGES..
A good question to ponder upon............Ganges the sacred river to India is converting into sewage (`Nala' in Hindi) making it the most pollutant riverin the world.Tonnes of wastes from industries and also wastes of people are polluting it all through !!!!!!!!! An estimated 2,000,000 people ritually bathe daily in the river, which is considered holy by the Hindus. In the Hindu religion it is said to flow from the lotus feet of VISHNU and then through the hair of SHIVA. The spiritual and religious significance is greater than any other river on the planet. While the Ganges may be considered holy, there are some problems associated with the ecology. It is filled with chemical wastes, sewage and even human and animal remains which carry major health risks by either direct bathing in the dirty water
The activities of GAP phase 1 initiated in 1985 were declared closed on 31 March 2000. The steering Committee of the national river conservation Authority reviewed the progress of the GAP and necessary correction on the basis of lessons learned and experiences gained from the GAP phase; 2.00 schemes have been completed under this plan. A million liters of sewage is targeted to be intercepted, diverted and treated.

GANGA ACTION PLAN
The Ganga Action Plan or GAP was a program launched by Shree Rajiv Gandhi in April 1985 in order to reduce the pollution load on the river. The program was launched with much fanfare, but it failed to decrease the pollution level in the river, after spending 901.71 crore (approx. 1010) rupees over a period of 15 years. The activities of GAP phase 1 initiated in 1985 were declared closed on 31 March 2000. The steering Committee of the national river conservation Authority reviewed the progress of the GAP and necessary correction on the basis of lessons learned and experiences gained from the GAP phase; 2.00 schemes have been completed under this plan. A million liters of sewage is targeted to be intercepted, diverted and treated.
