Summary of নমামি গঙ্গের টাকা গেল কোথায় ? I Nirmal Ganga
The video discusses the ongoing pollution issues affecting the Ganges River, emphasizing its significance as a vital water source in India. Despite efforts to clean the river, such as a program initiated by India's Central Atomic Research Center to clean the banks from Gomukh to Gangesagar, the project has faced challenges and limited success. The first phase from Gomukh to Haridwar has been completed, but overall, the Ganga Action Plan launched in 1986 and a subsequent initiative in 2014, which allocated 20,000 crores, have not yielded the desired results.
The video highlights that the Ganges is suffering from severe pollution due to a combination of factors, including the continued construction activities along its banks, which violate orders from the National Environment Court. It points out that the river has not been effectively integrated into the broader environmental framework of the country, and religious practices around the Ganges contribute significantly to its pollution. The discussion raises concerns about the ongoing degradation of the river and questions whether the efforts to clean it are merely superficial, as the pollution levels remain alarmingly high, particularly near religious shrines.
