Untreated effluent from STP polluting Ganga near its source
Monday, 11 November 2024 A report presented to the National Green Tribunal revealed that untreated sewage from a treatment plant is polluting the Ganga River near its source. The report, based on Uttarakhand government findings, showed high levels of fecal coliform bacteria in water samples. The NGT has ordered the state's chief secretary to address the issue and submit a detailed report.

Devotees gathering for the holy dip are unknowingly exposing themselves to dangerous pathogens, raising serious health concerns. With millions expected to take part in the festival, experts warn of potential waterborne diseases. How did this happen, and what are the risks? Watch the full report.
